The famed director allegedly forced himself upon a man in his twenties, a NYPD spokesperson told the outlet; however, this isn’t Singer’s first run-in with legal troubles, as two charges of sexual assault against him were recently dropped.
Martin Singer (no relation), responded to the publication’s report in an email:
“Neither my client nor any of his representatives have been contacted by the NYPD, or anyone else about an alleged criminal investigation of my client. My client did not engage in any criminal or inappropriate behavior with anyone in New York or elsewhere.” He added, “False investigations are filed all the time and no action is taken by the authorities.”
After an anonymous source left a tip regarding the allegations against the director, BuzzFeed contacted the NYPD to verify the claim. NYPD Deputy Chief Kim Royster responded via email as well, writing, “We have a formal compliant [sic] on file for criminal sexual act. The complaint was filed on May 9th of this year, however the incident occurred on March 23, 2013. The case is open and being investigated by our Special Victims Squad.”
No other information about the victim has been released because of the nature of the crime.
