Posted on Apr 13, 2010 @ 04:00AM
In shocking court papers obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, 1990s martial arts actor Steven Seagal is being sued for sexual harassment and illegal trafficking of females for sex.
EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Steven Seagal Court Documents
The lawsuit was brought by his former personal assistant, Kayden Nguyen, who is a 23-year-old former model.
The legal documents say Seagal “treated Ms. Nguyen as his sex toy.”

Nguyen is suing for sexual harassment, illegal trafficking of females for sex, failure to prevent sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination and false representation about employment.
The document also claims that “Mr. Seagal has been keeping two young female Russian 'Attendants' on staff who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

But Seagal’s top-notch lawyer Marty Singer fired back in ferocious manner. He released this statement to RadarOnline.com:
“The lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen against Steven Seagal is a ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired. The claims in her lawsuit are a complete fabrication without a scintilla of truth. Steven Seagal’s attorney Marty Singer stated that “I am extremely confident this meritless lawsuit will be dismissed. Ms. Nguyen filed her lawsuit without even notifying Steven Seagal or his representatives of her alleged claims because she was aware that claims could be asserted against her based on her own conduct. Her lawsuit is nothing more than a preemptive strike by a disgruntled ex-employee.”
Singer charged Nguyen with illegal activity.

Nguyen claims that she was required “to watch as “Sasha” (Russian attendant) and Mr. Seagal performed sex acts on each other.”
Seagal was working as a Reserve Deputy Chief of the Sheriff's Office in the community of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, something he documented in his A & E reality TV show Steven Seagal: Lawman.
He used Craigslist to hire an executive/personal assistant who could also be on his reality show.
Nguyen was hired in Los Angeles, but then flown to New Orleans to live in Seagal’s house for the show.
On her first night of work, Seagal allegedly engaged in physical and sexual assault by “pushing his hands under her shirt and attemping to fondle her bare breast,” and “forcing her head against his bare chest.”

Then she claims the next morning things got even worse. He allegedly “forcibly held her legs apart.” Then “forced his hand down her pants…” The document goes into graphic detail that isn’t suitable for all audiences.
Then the suit alleges a third physical assault took place a few hours later, where “Seagal forcibly lifted Ms. Nguyen’s blouse, forced his head on her bare chest and attempted to suck her breasts and nipples. He stopped only when she ran.”
After only a few days of work, Nguyen left the house on Sunday, February 28, 2010.
Seagal, who practices Tibetan Buddhism, has six children from three different mothers. In addition Seagal plays the role of guardian to a Tibetan child, Yabshi Pan Rinzinwangmo. Rinzinwangmo, or "Renji", who is the only child of the 10th Panchen Lama of Tibet. Renji studied in the United States at American University, and Seagal was her guardian and bodyguard.
Nguyen is suing for damages in excess of $1 million. She’s also calling for a jury trial.

Trial by Jury is all I ask of this matter of Fraud, Coercion, and Privacy Invasion et al. Arbitration only covers the information's pertaining to the Office business..that were not even assigned by the employer.

The best way to avoid sexual harassment and hostile workplaces is by doing research about potential bosses on sites like eBossWatch.

Go back to your little apartment in LA and lick your wounds, and for God's sake don't reply to job postings on Craigslist with a photo along with your resume. Use your talents and abilities to get the job not your looks!

Yes it's her right to prance around wearing nothing under her clothes, but to claim that she was sexually assaulted here shows that REAL cases of sexual harassment and sexual assault are becoming harder and harder to prove.

Next lets examine WHY this woman who was supposed to be an executive assistant 1) included a photo of herself for an assistant position with her resume, 2) was not wearing a bra and 3) why was she not wearing underwear??

Secondly, if her claims are true and she did not say "no" or "stop" it is not sexual assault, as she did not attempt to resist or stop his advances before it escalated.
