Four more accusers have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against movie director Bryan Singer in an investigation published in The Atlantic on Wednesday.

Singer, who directed the X-Men franchise, The Usual Suspects and Bohemian Rhapsody has in the past been accused of abusing or raping teenage boys, and creating toxic work environments on his movie sets.

Victor Valdovinos told The Atlantic that Singer molested him while he was an extra on Singers movie Apt Pupil in 1997. Valdovinos, who was 13 years old at the time, said Singer grabbed my genitals and started masturbating it and rubbed his front part on me, while telling him: Youre so good-looking I really want to work with you I have a nice Ferrari Im going to take care of you.

Three other men who used pseudonyms in The Atlantic article for fear of retaliation said Singer preyed on them at parties when they were teenagers and molested or raped them.

He was predatory in that he would ply people with alcohol and drugs and then have sex with them, one accuser said.
