George Takei hinted last month he may have groped men without permission — now an accuser has come forward

The Hollywood Reporter

When the Star Trek icon sat in on The Howard Stern Show on Oct. 16 in wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, the actor said “um” when Stern asked Takei if he had ever “grabbed somebody by their c*ck against their will." Takei had the same reaction when asked if he had ever sexually harassed somebody. But Takei insisted it was never about sexual harassment, or lording a job over someone. However, tonight a former model and actor, Scott R. Brunton, is accusing Takei of sexual harassment in 1981. "This happened a long time ago, but I have never forgotten it," Brunton tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It is one of those stories you tell with a group of people when people are recounting bizarre instances in their lives, this always comes up. I have been telling it for years, but I am suddenly very nervous telling it." UPDATE: George Takei tweets “I am as shocked and bewildered at these claims as you must feel reading them,” adding that he doesn't remember his accuser.
