Director Bryan Singer will pay $150,000 to settle a rape accusation, though Singer denies any wrongdoing.
Cesar Sanchez-Guzman said in a lawsuit filed in December 2017 that Singer sexually assaulted him during a 2003 Seattle yacht party, when Sanchez-Guzman was 17. The settlement was announced Wednesday.
“Mr. Singer has denied even knowing this individual, let alone allegedly having interacted with him more than 15 years ago,” said Singer’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, in a statement.
Sanchez-Guzman filed for bankruptcy in 2014. Sanchez-Guzman’s creditors reopened the case against him because, they said, he did not list the potential proceeds from a lawsuit against Singer as an asset.
