VIDEO : 'Star Trek's' Takei Denies Sexual Assault Allegations

"Star Trek" star and LBGT icon George Takei is denying allegations that he groped a former male model who says he passed out while drinking at the actor's LA condo nearly 40 years ago. Eighty year old Takei became the latest celebrity to be accused of sexual assault, after a former actor and model named Scott R. Brunton alleged in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter that Takei groped him and tried to remove his underwear one night in 1981. But the man best known for his role as Mr. Sulu, the helmsman of the USS Enterprise on Star Trek, said in a series of tweets that he is "shocked and bewildered" by the allegations and that the "events Brunton describes back in the 1980s simply did not occur."
