Director Bryan Singer has agreed to pay $150,000 to resolve allegations that he raped a 17-year-old boy in 2003.
LOS ANGELES —
In a filing on Wednesday, a bankruptcy trustee recommended that the court approve a $150,000 settlement with Singer. The trustee, Nancy James, reached the settlement agreement with Singer's attorneys. In her filing, James notes that Singer's attorneys have argued that Sanchez-Guzman's claims should be barred by the statute of limitations. She also notes that no evidence has been produced showing that Singer attended the yacht party.In a statement, Singer's attorney Andrew Brettler said that the director maintains his innocence.
Under the terms of the agreement, $61,000 would go to creditors. The bulk of those claims represent student loan debt, which is not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Additional funds will be used to pay for administration of the case. Sanchez-Guzman will end up with the remainder.
