Director Bryan Singer filed a motion Thursday to dismiss the sex abuse case posted against him in Los Angeles. He is also asking for coverage of his own anticipated high litigation costs, per the documents.
Through his attorneys, Singer stated that there is no legal basis for the suit that was filed under conditions of anonymity by a British actor identified as “John Doe 117.”
Singer wants a $300,000 bond to cover his legal costs. That hearing is set for Aug. 18.
