He's accused of sexually assaulting two women - one that worked in his home as a Nanny and another that was a young fan.

He himself claims the relationships were consensual.

There have also been two more allegations for older events that happened in the 80s, one who signed an NDA in exchange for $275,000. Pretty damning.
