Russian Bots are Amplifying Sexual Assault Allegations Against Me — George Takei

This time, Star Trek star George Takei has been accused of sexually assaulting a former model in 1981.

Takei: ... More than gentle [laughter].

He adds that he does not remember Scott R Brunton, who made the allegations in a The Hollywood Reporter interview which ran on Friday.

"Right now it is a he said/he said situation, over alleged events almost 40 years ago", he continues. "Because George Takei has a dark side". "He was in a position of so much power over me, and I didn't feel I could tell anyone about it".

The trio exchanged numbers and occasionally hung out, Brunton said.

But I do take these claims very seriously, and I wanted to provide my response thoughtfully and not out of the moment.

"It was totally platonic", he said of that night. He was so not my type.

Heather Unruh told reporters Wednesday that Spacey stuck his hand down her then-18-year-old-son's trousers and grabbed his genitals while the two of them were at a restaurant in July 2016. In now-deleted tweets, Takei posted a graph from Securing Democracy, a site that tracks "Russian influence operations on Twitter", and said he had been targeted before when he criticized Putin's anti-LGBT policies.

"'I don't want to do this, '" Brunton allegedly told Takei, to which the "Star Trek" actor reportedly responded, "'You need to relax. He said the two went to Takei's condo for drinks after. I didn't get it. He said that he woke with his trousers around his ankles, and Takei trying to remove his underwear, while groping him at the same time. You're in no condition to drive.' I said, 'I don't care I want to go.' So I managed to get my trousers up and compose myself and I was just shocked.

Teich said she made a decision to speak out after Dreyfuss tweeted support for his son, Harry, after the younger Dreyfuss went public with accusations that Kevin Spacey groped his crotch when he was 18. "And even though I'm gay and I understand he's done a lot of good for the LGBTQ community, I just felt I had to say something".

"I said, 'No. I don't want to do this.' And I pushed him off", Brunton recalled. He said he extricated himself and left. He did not go to the police but eventually told many friends about the incident, which he said prompted him to leave Los Angeles for Portland, Oregon.

Brunton told the Hollywood Reporter that he became friends with Takei when he was 23 and the actor was in his mid-40s.

Spacey has also been charged with forcefully assaulting actor Anthony Rapp when he was only 14 years' old.

"When he started in on Kevin Spacey, I thought, 'Oh my God, the hypocrisy, '" he said.

"It was the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black, what he was doing". What are you saying, George?

The former model said he was amused that Takei doesn't remember him after their numerous encounters. "He was very good at consoling me and understanding that I was upset and still in love with my boyfriend", Brunton says. The actress, who was 18 at that time, wrote that "I was a young adult who had not yet come out to myself".
