Bryan Singer Lawsuit Update: 'X-Men' Director Files Motion To Dismiss Michael Egan's Sexual Abuse Civil Suit

Bryan Singer has filed a motion to dismiss Michael Egan's lawsuit claiming he sexually abused him on multiple occasions.

Variety reports Singer claims he was not in Hawaii when the alleged abuse occurred between August 1999 and October 1999.  Singer claims he was filming "X-Men" during the time and was in California and England.  The director has repeatedly denied Egan's allegations.

"The timing of this action and inclusion of its sordid (and provably false) allegations are nothing more than tools being used to embarrass, harass, and pressure Singer and precipitate a shakedown of a perceived 'deep pocket,'" the motion said, according to Variety.

The lawsuit also names Gary Goddard, Garth Ancier and David Neuman as Egan's alleged abusers.  Singer is the only one whom has filed a motion to dismiss the case in Hawaii.

Egan, 31, spoke about the lawsuit during a press conference on April 17.  Egan explained he went to the authorities and reported the alleged abuse, but he case was never pursued.

"They pulled me away for their threat sessions and told me...'At the end of the day if you don't keep the members of this group happy, we control Hollywood. We can eliminate you. We will eliminate you,' threat after threat after threat," Egan said during the press conference, referring to what he was told by the moguls the the Hollywood parties.

"I had drugs put in drinks. I had liquor poured down my throat," he added. "There were rules in the house of no swimsuits, no clothes out by the pool area. I was raped numerous times in that house by numerous individuals, various types of sexual abuse all throughout that house...you were like a piece of meat to these people and they passed you around between them...if I could define what that house was it's evil."
