Who Is George Takei’s Husband? 'Star Trek' Actor Accused Of Sexual Assault

A former male model and actor has accused George Takei, known for his role in “Star Trek,” of sexual assault in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

Scott R. Brunton said that he was 23 years old and Takei was 43 when the incident occurred in 1981.

The alleged assault that Brunton referred to happened before Takei met his husband, Brad Altman, in 1987, at a gay Los Angeles running club.

After secretly dating Altman for 18 years, Takei came out publicly as an openly homosexual man in 2005, and the two got married three years later.

“He was the best runner in the club,” Takei told Oprah Winfrey during an episode of “Where are they now?” the Huffington Post reported. “And also great-looking. So I went up to him and I asked him to train me for my first marathon.”

According to Famous Birthdays, Altman is a producer who also produced his husband’s show “Takei’s Take.” He also stars alongside Takei in the YouTube web reality series “It Takeis Two.”

Brunton in his interview said he met Takei at Greg's Blue Dot bar when he was living in Hollywood and working as a waiter and a commercial actor. They two exchanged numbers and often ran into each other in different clubs after that night.

After Brunton had broken up with his then boyfriend, he turned to Takei for comfort. “He was very good at consoling me and understanding that I was upset and still in love with my boyfriend," Brunton told THR. "He was a great ear. He was very good about me spilling my heart on my sleeve.”

However, one day after Brunton had a couple of drinks at the actor’s condo, he suddenly felt dizzy and passed out after a while. He woke up to find Takei taking advantage of him.

"The next thing I remember I was coming to and he had my pants down around my ankles and he was groping my crotch and trying to get my underwear off and feeling me up at the same time, trying to get his hands down my underwear," Brunton said.

"I came to and said, 'What are you doing?!'” he added. “I said, 'I don't want to do this.' He goes, 'You need to relax. I am just trying to make you comfortable. Get comfortable.' And I said, 'No. I don't want to do this.'”

Brunton said that he pushed Takei off him and got out of the actor’s home despite the latter insisting him to stay because he was not sober enough to drive. “I managed to get my pants up and compose myself and I was just shocked," Brunton said. “I walked out and went to my car until I felt well enough to drive home, and that was that.”

But why did Brunton choose to speak out after all this time? Brunton said that when he heard Takei condemning the action of actor Kevin Spacey, who has been accused of sexual harassment by various individuals including actor Anthony Rapp, he decided to come out with his own experience.

"When power is used in a non-consensual situation, it is a wrong," Takei told THR on Oct. 30.

"For Anthony Rapp, he has had to live with the memory of this experience of decades ago. For Kevin Spacey, who claims not to remember the incident, he was the older, dominant one who had his way. Men who improperly harass or assault do not do so because they are gay or straight — that is a deflection. They do so because they have the power, and they chose to abuse it," Takei said.
