Atlantic Publishes Disturbing Results Of Year-Long Investigation Into Sexual Allegations Against X-Men Director

John Bickley

The Atlantic published a report this week detailing its disturbing findings after a year-long investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against teen boys by “X-Men” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” director Bryan Singer.

“We spent 12 months investigating various lawsuits and allegations against Singer,” The Atlantic’s Alex French and Maximillian Potter report. “In total, we spoke with more than 50 sources, including four men who have never before told their stories to reporters. A man we’ll call Eric told us that he was 17 in 1997 when he and Singer had sex at a party at the director’s house; another we’ll call Andy says he was only 15 that same year, when he and Singer had sex in a Beverly Hills mansion. Both men say Singer, who was then in his early 30s, knew they were under 18, the age of consent in California. (They asked The Atlantic to conceal their identity for fear of retaliation, and because they didn’t want certain details about their past made public.)”
