More than 66 women filed allegations of sexual misconduct of the 10-year-old actor, writes Newsru.

The Los Angeles Police Department has already transferred the case to the prosecutor. The first woman to make a public accusation of rape Seagal was Regina Simons. In December 2017, she filed a complaint with the Los Angeles police.

According to Simons, she met the actor on the set of the film In Mortal Danger (1994), when she was 18 years old. Seagal invited her to a party at his Beverly Hills home. Arriving at the place, she discovered that she was the only guest. According to her, Seagal took her to a room and raped her.

Allegations of rape against Seagal were filed long before the topic of sexual harassment became highly relevant in the United States because of the scandal surrounding the famous American producer Harvey Weinstein.

Back in 2010, the former model and former assistant of the Hollywood actor Cayden Nguyen filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him not only of sexual harassment, but also of the fact that the actor was keeping girls in sexual slavery. She claimed that Segal had two Russian girls in submission at any time of the day.

In November 2017, the actress Porsche de Rossi said that at the final audition for Seagal's film, she was the victim of sexual harassment by the actor. Seagal allegedly unzipped his pants, saying that “chemistry should arise” between the actors on the set.

Actress Jenny McCarthy said that Seagal tried to force her to take off her clothes during a casting, although there were no nudity scenes in the script. To the actress’s objection, he stated that this role involves “nudity outside of filming.”

In October 2017, another actress, Lisa Guerrero, said that in 1997, Seagal invited her to his home to audition for the film Hellfire. When she arrived, Seagal was wearing a silk kimono and hinted at intimacy. Soon she received a call from her agent, who informed her of an invitation to another “private rehearsal.” Guerrero refused this offer, after which she was given only a minor role. During filming, Seagal again invited her to retire to the dressing room. When the actress refused, all episodes with her were cut from the film.

Actress Julianne Margulis also accused Stephen Seagal of sexual harassment. She said that in 1989, the actor invited her to his room in the hotel to cast there for a new film. The meeting was planned in the presence of a casting manager, and Margulis agreed. But when she entered the room, she discovered that Seagal was there alone, also armed with a pistol.

Seagal suggested telling the actress about her fate using the lines on her palm. Margulis quickly ended the meeting and left the room. Shortly after this episode, Julianna Margulies received her first film role from Steven Seagal - she was cast as a prostitute in the film For Justice, in which Seagal played a detective. Margulies claims that during the filming process she was always afraid to be alone with Seagal.

Despite all the accusations, Steven Seagal, who simultaneously has three citizenships - the USA, Russia and Serbia - in early August was appointed special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry on Russian-American humanitarian relations.
