The sexual abuse case against "X-Men" director Bryan Singer has been dropped, according to The Business Standard.
According to court documents filed in Hawaii, Egan reportedly requested for voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit against Bryan Singer, in which the 31-year-old man claimed he was sexually abused by Singer as an aspiring teen actor.
Michael Egan requested the sexual abuse case dismissed without prejudice because he couldn't find a new lawyer to represent him, according to the NY Daily News.
As part of the voluntary dismissal, a judge ruled that Egan does have the opportunity to re-file a lawsuit at a later date, according to Variety.
Singer reportedly attempted the case be dismissed with prejudice so that Egan wouldn't be able to file a later date, but U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway denied his request.
"Any alleged damage to defendant's reputation may well be ameliorated by plaintiff's voluntary dismissal of the action," the judge's order said.
Egan and his former attorney, Jeff Herman, reportedly claimed that Bryan Singer preyed on vulnerable teen boys in the late 1990s as part of a "sordid sex" ring. The original lawsuit reportedly claimed that Singer sexually assaulted Egan when he was underage and attending notorious drug and alcohol-fueled house parties in Los Angeles and Hawaii.
The 48-year-old director quickly denied the accusation, reportedly stating that he wasn't in Hawaii at the time.
"The allegations against me are outrageous, vicious and completely false. I do not want these fictitious claims to diver ANY attention from 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,'" Singer reportedly said in a statement.
