Last week, a former UFC fighter who legally changed his name to War Machine was arrested in San Diego after running amok in a bar. Among other things, he had struck one patron in the head, sending him to a hospital. Police had to place a plastic bag over his head to prevent him from spitting at them.

One who doesn't trust is likely not to be trusted.

What you are saying is what you have seen in the media.

some catholic priests have been deemed pedophiles.
some episcopalian priests too! and dentists, doctors, mechanics, bakers, welfare recipients, family members etc etc.

It is sensational when a person in a position of trust breaks that trust and that is why you read about it in the media or see it in the media etc.

There are thousands of Catholic priests who are good decent and upright. Same with any church, temple, mosque etc. The majority are morally upright and ethical. But where better for evil to hide than in the folds of the good?

yes, be careful, but don't blackball entire institutions based on a news story here and there.

[SPJ]

Yes. What you said.

So much for upholding the law on Lawman, or being a reincarnated Lama.

Steven Seagal is accused of hiring young women as personal attendants whose real job was to serve his strange and sometimes violent sexual desires, according to a civil lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles by a 23-year-old former model who describes her experience in harrowing detail.

The plaintiff, Kayden Nguyen, said she met the action star in February through an ad on Craigslist seeking an executive assistant and, after three interviews, was told to pack for a trip to New Orleans, where the A&E show "Steven Seagal Lawman" was taping.

When she arrived, the lawsuit says, she discovered that Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian "attendants" who were essentially on-call for sex — 24-seven.

On that first night, Nguyen was ushered to a secluded house where Seagal was staying with his wife and the two young women. He then proceeded to treat Nguyen as his "sex toy" despite her complaints, the lawsuit says.

She complained the following morning to some of the other employees, assuming that they would deliver the message to Seagal. Hours later, the lawsuit says he assaulted her again, this time forcing her to consume "illegal pills."

The following morning, when she confronted Seagal herself, he told her there had been a "misunderstanding"; but hours later, he assaulted her a third time, an attack that stopped only when she ran away, according to the lawsuit.

The ordeal carried on for several days, and it wasn't until Feb. 28 — the following Sunday — that she was able to escape the situation, the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit says Nguyen told Seagal that she had to leave to meet with family members who would be suspicious if she didn't show up. Nonetheless, he told her not to leave the house and followed her with a gun equipped with a flashlight as she went out to a waiting cab, which sped away as she jumped in the front seat.

A message left by TheWrap with the action star's attorney, Stuart Rosenthal, was not immediately returned Monday. Messages left with A&E were also not immediately returned.

It was not clear why Kayden Nguyen chose to file a civil lawsuit instead of a criminal complaint. Messages left with her lawyers were not immediately returned Monday.

Nguyen's lawsuit claims that even after she got away, Seagal and his employees tried desperately to persuade her to return. When she escaped, she left behind "everything of value she owned," including car keys, her laptop, clothes, and "hundreds of dollars worth of makeup." She was told she would not get the items back until she signed an agreement stating she would not report the sexual attacks.

The lawsuit says Nguyen had accepted the job on Feb. 22, a Monday, and was sped in a limo to a waiting private jet. Her first indication that something was awry was when Seagal told her, as the plane was taking off, that his wife "wouldn't mind if we had a sexual relationship."

Nguyen's lawsuit said she could identify a "unique physiological reaction" that Seagal has to sexual arousal, which could be corroborated by the other "attendants." The suit did not specify what that reaction is.

The lawsuit alleges sexual harassment in violation of federal labor laws; illegal sex trafficking; retaliation; wrongful termination; and false representations about employment. Each of the six counts seeks in excess of $1 million in damages.

Kayden Nguyen sues action star Steven Seagal for sexual assault, employing her as his 'sex toy'

A former employee has sued big screen action star Steven Seagal, claiming he hired her as an assistant, but then used her as a "sex toy."

Kayden Nguyen, a 23-year-old former model from Los Angeles, is seeking $1 million from the "Under Siege" actor, according to court papers filed Monday.

Nguyen said she responded to a Craigslist ad in February for an executive assistant for Seagal and his production company, Steamroller Productions.

When she arrived in New Orleans, where Seagal films his reality show, "Steven Seagal Lawman," Nguyen said she quickly realized she had been hired to replace one of two "attendants" who were "available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

Seagal, 58, asked Nguyen and another woman on his staff for a massage, court papers say.

When she refused, he forced his hand down her pants and told her to "relax, we won't do anything special tonight. I'll save that for another night," according to the lawsuit.

Nguyen said she tried to flee the house, but Seagal and his staff wouldn't let her.

"I was terrified of Seagal," she said. "I feared for my safety."

Nguyen said she left her keys and laptop behind and hopped a flight back to L.A. She said Seagal told her he was "a family man" but that his wife "wouldn't care if you were my lover."

Seagal's attorney, Marty Singer, called the lawsuit "a ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired."

If anyone doesn't think Segal is anything more than a deluded hollywood type spoiled rotten by isolation from reality.

Check again.

watch his show. the guy is a meltdown on a trainwreck from space. lol

I think his new show is more of a joke than anything.

Chubby excited actor who used to do aikido running after minor perps in reality tv show. A fitting demise to an otherwise mediocre career really.

reincarnate lama you say?

bwahahahaha, sure why not! But I think the Dalai Lama is a jerk, so there you go.
