Bryan denies allegations of sexual misconduct against him

Los Angeles: Bryan Singer has again been hit with allegations of misconduct for engaging in sexual encounters with underage boys.

The Bohemian Rhapsody co-director has categorically denied the charges. According to a report by The Atlantic on Wednesday, four men allege that Singer had sexual encounters with them when they were teenagers in the late 1990s.

One of the men, Victor Valdovinos, says he was a 13-year-old extra on the set of Apt Pupil when the film's director, Singer, fondled his genitals.

The three other complainants are referred in the story by pseudonyms.

One, identified in the story as Andy, says that he had sex with Singer when he was 15. Another man, 'Eric', says he was 17 when he began having sex with the director, who would have been 31 at the time. The third man, named as Ben, alleges that he and Singer engaged in oral sex when he was 17 or 18.

"He would stick his hands down your pants without consent. He was predatory in that he would ply people with alcohol and drugs and then have sex with them," the man told the publication. Singer's attorney, Andrew Brettler, denied the claims and challenged various details of the accounts by the accusers.

Fox terminated Singer's services as Bohemian Rhapsody helmer under the "pay or play" provision of his contract, sources had indicated at the time, due to his repeated failures to show up on the set.
