He suppos­edly forced himsel­f on to Cesar Sanche­z-Guzman and physic­ally assaul­ted him in 2003X-Men director Bryan Singer is being sued for supposedly forcing himself on to 17-year-old Cesar Sanchez-Guzman and raping him during a yacht party in 2003. The lawsuit, filed by Sanchez-Guzman’s attorney Jeff Herman, alleges that Singer was at a party with young gay men on tech investor Lester Waters’ yacht in Seattle in 2003. Singer allegedly forced himself on to Sanchez-Guzman, who repeatedly told him to stop, before he was raped by Singer, according to the lawsuit. However, Singer’s representative stated that Herman had a history of representing false claims against the director and had even been sued for malicious prosecution. The lawsuit was filed just days after Singer was fired from the upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.
