A man who has accused X-Men director Bryan Singer of sexually abusing him when he was a teenager has sued three more entertainment industry figures, claiming they also molested him.

The allegations in the latest lawsuits filed by Michael Egan on Monday are substantially similar to his legal action against Singer. That lawsuit accuses the director of abusing him between the ages of 15 and 17 in Los Angeles and Hawaii.

Egan claims he was lured into a sex ring run by Marc Collins-Rector, a former digital entertainment company executive, with promises of auditions for acting, modelling and commercial jobs.

He was put on the company's payroll as an actor and forced to have sex with adult men at parties within Hollywood's entertainment industry, the lawsuit said.

Collins-Rector pleaded guilty in 2004 to transporting five minors across state lines to have sex.

Monday's lawsuits were filed in a US federal court in Hawaii against former Fox television executive Garth Ancier, theatre producer Gary Wayne Goddard, and David Neuman, a former television executive with Disney. Egan is seeking more than US$10 million in damages.
