Formerly known a bastion of morality when Trump was involved, now we find this.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/george-takei-accused-sexually-assaulting-model-1981-1056698A former model and actor is accusing Star Trek icon George Takei of sexual assault in 1981. The accuser, Scott R. Brunton, who was 23 at the time of the alleged incident, claims that Takei took advantage of him when he was most vulnerable.
"This happened a long time ago, but I have never forgotten it," Brunton tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview. "It is one of those stories you tell with a group of people when people are recounting bizarre instances in their lives, this always comes up. I have been telling it for years, but I am suddenly very nervous telling it."
Brunton says he was living in Hollywood in 1981, working as a waiter and beginning a career as a commercial actor and model when he met a 43- or 44-year-old Takei one evening at Greg's Blue Dot bar. The men exchanged numbers and would call one another from time to time as well as run into each other at clubs, Brunton says. When Brunton broke up with his then-boyfriend, he spoke with Takei. "He said, 'Let me know what your new number is' and I did. And not long after we broke up and I moved out, George called me," Brunton recalls.
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.
Brunton says he considered going to the media with the story for years, but he assumed no one would take him seriously. "Who's going to believe me? It's my word against his," he says.
Maybe if Takei were a Republican running for office, the MSM would have gleefully published it.
George Takei said about Kevin Spacey: When power is used in a non-consensual situation, it is a wrong,"
Not even alt-right Trump-lover news believes this one.
I don't like George Takei's political whining, but I don't see this happening. Dude's a total bottom.

Actually, he's already admitted to penis-grabbing on tape, calling it normal even (Oct 17).
Doesn't stop him from being a bottom ofc.
https://twitter.com/1mjas/status/929207755889631232He had a drunken encounter with a guy 35 years ago. Guy didn't mention it for 35 years but with everything going on today he knows he'll get some notoriety with this story. What a sad joke this guy is. Does anybody believe George Takei had roofy drugs 35 years ago and this kid who was into him enough to drink privately with him was a victim of those roofy drugs? Please stop dude, your 15 minutes wasn't quite 15 minutes and never will be.

Homophobe. Basically every agent on the entire planet is pushing their clients to come out with their own tales for publicity - "lovey something just must have happened at some point, think harder darling..."
Yet you choose to attack the story with the gay flavour. Nice.

You've never heard of Quaaludes? They were popular in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Just ask Bill Cosby.

No, I think he was just highlighting a man talking out of both sides of his mouth: mister morality regarding the dip$hit in office and then anything but when it comes to his own personal life. It's usually the people yelling loudest that are just as (sometimes more) nefarious. Drugging someone and doing sexual things to them is NOT ok- gay or straight.
Oh My!

I certainly do not dismiss it out of hand.

Wow.
So Cosby is guilty even though never convicted.
Didn't strike you a bit odd how the massmedia echo chamber went nuts on Cosby all at once with no apparent trigger. Hell, it was so obvious they felt compelled to explain how this happened -- pointing to a youtube video by unknown comedian H Burress.
Meanwhile the MSM was successfully enforcing a black-out of any news on what Weinstein and the rest of the Hollywood power players were doing.
So Cosby is guilty even though never convicted.
And he's not even running for Republican political office.
Maybe he wanted to take him where a few men have gone before?
