Bryan Singer hit with SECOND sexual abuse lawsuit

Besieged X-Men director Bryan Singer has been hit with a second sexual assault lawsuit, with fresh allegations the Hollywood heavyweight arranged to 'meet with a minor to engage in lewd and lascivious behavior'.

Already accused of sexually assaulting and physically abusing former child model Michael Egan, 31, Singer is now at the center of a new suit, which will officially be announced in LA on Monday.

According to The Daily Beast, Singer, along with Broadway musical producer Gary Goddard, allegedly engaged in inappropriate acts with a British teenager in the bedroom of a London suite around the time of the release of Superman Returns - which Singer directed - in 2006.

The suit has been filed by Egan's attorney, Jeff Herman, on behalf of plaintiff 'John Doe No. 117'.

It claims Goddard contacted the teen when he was 14 via social media, commenting John Doe was attractive and that he knew people who could help kickstart his acting career.

\One of those people, Goddard said, was Singer.

Thereafter, Goddard told the boy he was in love with him, and 'convinced' the boy to send him nude photographs and a video masturbating.
