Bryan Singer, the director of Bohemian Rhapsody, is facing new allegations published in the Atlantic on Wednesday that he engaged in sexual misconduct with underage boys.
In the report, four men allege that Singer had sexual encounters with them when they were teenagers in the late 1990s. One of the men, Victor Valdovinos, says he was a 13-year-old extra on the set of Apt Pupil when Singer fondled his genitals.
The three other accusers are identified in the story by pseudonyms. One, identified in the story as Andy, says that he had sex with Singer when he was 15. Another man, identified as Eric, says he was 17 when he began having sex with the director. Singer would have been 31 at the time. The third man, Ben, alleges that he and Singer had oral sex when he was 17 or 18.
He would stick his hands down your pants without consent, the man told the Atlantic. He was predatory in that he would ply people with alcohol and drugs and then have sex with them.

In April 2014, Michael Egan sued Singer, alleging that the director had raped him several times in Hawaii in 1999, when Egan was 17. That case was dropped several months later, after discrepancies emerged in Egans story.
Cesar Sanchez-Guzman sued Singer in December 2017, claiming that Singer raped him on a yacht in 2003. Singer has denied the allegation, and the case is still pending.
The industry will brush things under the rug and pretend nothing happened, Sanchez-Guzman told the magazine. Most people dont see the truth.

How many investigating LA cops unwillingly were blocked over the years?
How many investigating LA cops willingly did blocking over the years?
Correct.
He wasnt. He was removed and replaced before the movie was completed (so, he probably had some hand in it).
The star of Apt Pupil had a short, violent, drug-fueled life. I think we could speculate about what might have happened to him on that set. Besides Singer, it starred the loathsome homosexual actor Ian McKellen.
Skepticism is fine. The fact that this guy openly admits to foam parties with young men and has had these kinds of stories follow him his entire career should at least put him under suspicion. Never leave your male children under his supervision.
It does not satisfy level of courtroom legal proof, no, but you are ignoring both historical and cultural context.
They did not have enough “proof” on Al Capone for running booze either - and partly because the cops protected him.
