NEW YORK—The Star Trek icon George Takei took to Twitter to deny he ever knew a struggling actor and model who has accused him of sexual assault in 1981. Scott R. Brunton told the Hollywood Reporter he was 23 at the time, living in Hollywood and working as a waiter when he met Takei at a bar. He said he grew dizzy and “must have passed out,” awaking to his pants around his ankles and Takei groping him. The Hollywood Reporter said Friday it spoke to four longtime friends of Brunton who said he had confided in them about Takei years ago. Also Saturday, an agent for actor Richard Dreyfuss denied the actor exposed himself to a writer.
