A male model has stepped forward with sexual abuse allegations against former Star Trek actor George Takei, intimating that he was drugged, then assaulted by Takei. The model said that he met Takei and they exchanged numbers and would occasionally talk on the phone. The model, Scott R. Brunton, who was 23 at the time of the alleged incident, said that Takei tried to take advantage of his vulnerability when he broke up with his boyfriend.
When Takei found out about the breakup, he allegedly suggested they go out and he provided a willing ear and sympathy for the man who was still in love with the boyfriend. The model gave it no thought when he was invited back to Takei’s place for a drink. He then said after getting a second drink, he became unstable and passed out. When he woke up, he claims Takei had his pants down around his ankle and was trying to take off his underwear as Takei fondled him.
According to the Hollywood Reporter:
Takei, as Brunton tells it, invited him to dinner and the theater. “He was very good at consoling me and understanding that I was upset and still in love with my boyfriend,” Brunton says. “He was a great ear. He was very good about me spilling my heart on my sleeve.”

The two men went back to the actor’s condo for a drink the same night. “We have the drink and he asks if I would like another,” Brunton recalls. “And I said sure. So, I have the second one, and then all of a sudden, I begin feeling very disoriented and dizzy, and I thought I was going to pass out. I said I need to sit down and he said sit over here and he had the giant yellow beanbag chair. So I sat down in that and leaned my head back and I must have passed out.”
“The next thing I remember I was coming to and he had my pants down around my ankles and he was groping my crotch and trying to get my underwear off and feeling me up at the same time, trying to get his hands down my underwear,” Brunton says. “I came to and said, ‘What are you doing?!’ I said, ‘I don’t want to do this.’ He goes, ‘You need to relax. I am just trying to make you comfortable. Get comfortable.’ And I said, ‘No. I don’t want to do this.’ And I pushed him off and he said, ‘OK, fine.’ And I said I am going to go and he said, ‘If you feel you must. You’re in no condition to drive.’ I said, ‘I don’t care I want to go.’ So I managed to get my pants up and compose myself and I was just shocked. I walked out and went to my car until I felt well enough to drive home, and that was that.”
THR spoke to four longtime friends of Brunton — Norah Roadman, Rob Donovan, Stephen Blackshear and Jan Steward — who said that he had confided in them about the Takei encounter years ago.
Takei is just another in a long line of Hollywood liberals accused of being a sexual predator. The numbers are growing daily and exposes the power trip experienced by elite liberal actors, directors and writers. The wave began with Harvey Weinstein and has claimed the career of actor Kevin Spacey.
Brunton said that he had wanted to out Takei for years but was afraid the liberal press would not take him seriously but now it appears people are willing to listen to victims such as himself. In later years, he wanted Takei to explain why he had tried to take advantage of him over lunch but he said he lost his nerve and never asked him.
Takei, Twitchy said, denied the allegations in a series of tweets issued Saturday morning:
The events he describes back in the 1980s simply did not occur, and I do not know why he has claimed them now. I have wracked my brain to ask if I remember Mr. Brunton, and I cannot say I do. /2

But I do take these claims very seriously, and I wanted to provide my response thoughtfully and not out of the moment. /3

Right now it is a he said / he said situation, over alleged events nearly 40 years ago. But those that know me understand that non-consensual acts are so antithetical to my values and my practices, the very idea that someone would accuse me of this is quite personally painful. /4

Wait — did he just say, “nearly 40 years ago,” the same timeframe in the allegations against Judge Roy Moore?
And, he said, his husband is standing by him:
Brad, who is 100 percent beside me on this, as my life partner of more than 30 years and now my husband, stands fully by my side. I cannot tell you how vital it has been to have his unwavering support and love in these difficult times. /5

Exit question: Will the Roy Moore standard be applied to Takei?
