In November, actor George Takei denied sexual assault allegations made by Scott Brunton, a former model who says Takei sexually assaulted him in 1981.<\/p>\n
Brunton claimed he fell unconscious at Takei\u2019s apartment after having a couple<\/a> drinks and when he woke up his pants were around his ankles, Takei was groping him and trying to get his underwear off. The accusations, which came as a flurry of Hollywood and public figures were brought down by similar allegations, prompted a public pillorying of Takei, who has always denied them<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, Takei\u2019s accuser has withdrawn many of the allegations during a lengthy investigation by the New York Observer<\/em>\u2018s Shane Snow, who tracked how Brunton changed and added to his story over time, and also revealed that many of the claims, such as possession of a \u201cdate rape\u201d drug, would have been impossible because such drugs did not exist in 1981 when the alleged assault took place.<\/p>\n Takei has always maintained that the events described by Brunton did not occur, and is vindicated by Snow\u2019s investigation, which you can read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the time, Takei also said that Russian bots<\/a> were amplifying the accusations against him.<\/p>\n The post George Takei\u2019s Accuser Fabricated Elements of Story, Admits Sexual Assault May Not Have Happened<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
