Bryan Singer accuser looks to withdraw sex abuse lawsuit


The man who accused Hollywood director Bryan Singer of sexual abuse now wants to drop his lawsuit.

From OUT.com:

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Egan III, the man who filed multiple sexual abuse cases against Bryan Singer and three other men, is seeking to withdraw his last remaining lawsuit.

On Monday, he quietly filed a motion titled: "Plaintiff's Opposition to Motion to Withdraw as Counsel; Request for Court Order of Dismissal, Without Prejudice or an Award of Costs or Fees, in the Interest of Justice — filed by Michael F. Egan, III (pro se).”

Though the motion is sealed, Egan says that he want the case dismissed “without prejudice or an award of costs or fees, in the interest of justice.” If the case is dismissed without prejudice, Egan could refile the action at a later date.

Egan originally filed several lawsuits involving high profile Hollywood names. But the cases began to unravel when statements he had made in the past contradicted the allegations in his lawsuits.

Egan accused Bryan Singer of sexually abusing him in Hawaii, but said in 2003 that he had never been to the Aloha state. Egan also accused David Neuman of sex abuse, but then statements came to light where he said he never had sex with the man.

Hard to win a law suit when you're arguing with yourself.
