Bryan Singer has been accused of rape by
Michael Egan, who alleges the director of
X-Men: Days of Future Past took advantage of him when he was 17 years old. Is there a legitimate case for sexual assault, or has
Singer's reputation in

Egan's mother with journalist
Mark Ebner, and retired
FBI SSA Jim Clemente on
Media Mayhem
