John Travolta accused of sexual assault

John Travolta has been accused of sexually assaulting a male massage therapist.

The therapist claims the Grease star, who has been married to his second wife Kelly Preston for over 20 years, made sexual advances toward him during a massage session - a $200 appointment which Travolta is said to have booked anonymously.

The lawsuit outlines explicit information about the encounter, including that Travolta made unwanted sexual advances toward the masseur, The Daily Mail reports.

The masseur's lawsuit documents - which emerged on TMZ - claims he met Travolta in a black Lexus SUV and drove to his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he allegedly stripped naked and began touching the masseur inappropriately.

Travolta's rep has said the star was not in California at the time and that the "plaintiff's attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame."

The statement said: "This lawsuit is a complete fiction and fabrication. None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred. The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie."

The massage therapist is seeking $2 million worth of damages.
