Hollywood executives deny alleged sexual abuse on Bryan Singer's accuser

By

The Los Angeles Times said in a report that Michael Egan named three Hollywood executives as the people who have sexually abused him at sex parties in the 1990s in Hawaii lawsuits. Egan had since accused "X-Men" director Bryan Singer of the same thing, claiming that the filmmaker had drugged and raped him. Garth Ancier, David Neuman and Gary Goddard had been named in lawsuits filed by Egan's attorney Jeff Herman.

Ancier, has held senior positions at CNN, NBC and Fox. Neuman's previous company was with Walt Disney as a senior television executive and also did chief programming duties at CNN. Goddard on the other hand has founded a design firm and have produced several shows off Broadway.

The LA Times also noted that the three accused also took time to send out public statements in the wake of Egan's revelations.

"All of the allegations made by the plaintiff against Garth Ancier are demonstrably untrue, and we are confident the courts will agree when the evidence is presented," Louise Ann Fernandez, Ancier's attorney, said in a statement.

In his Twitter account, Neuman said that the allegations are disgusting and are false, and intends to set the record straight soon.

Goddard's attorney was a bit formal, but said that their client will be in China until later this week. They added, "We have now received the complaint and will respond as appropriate."

TIME noted that although Egan has filed federal lawsuits against the three, none of them have been criminally charged. Moreover, the statute of limitations for the charges also has passed. It was not clear what Egan's intentions were when filing the lawsuits against the three based on the TIME report.

In an emailed statement to the LA Times, Herman said, "We have a good faith belief in the allegations and we will litigate this in the United States District Court."
