The acclaimed and openly gay director of X-Men, Bryan Singer, has filed a motion of dismissal against the sexual abuse charges against him.

Singer cited alleged victim Michael Egan's own depositions as proof neither of them were ever in the state of Hawaii where Egan claims the abuse took place.

The charges of teenage sexual abuse were filed last month by Jeff Herman, legal representative of Michael Egan, III. Egan claims that during two trips to Hawaii in 1999, Singer and the other defendants forced him to engage in oral and anal sex when he was only 15 years old.

Singer claims that during the supposed time of the abuse, he was in Canada and in the middle of pre-production of the first X-Men. Singer's motion also claims there are sales receipts, telephone records and credit card statements to prove it, but did not include said documents in the motion.

This follows another motion for dismissal made by the other defendant named in Egan's lawsuit, David Neuman, former executive with Disney.

Neuman's motion cites a prior official statement made by Egan in 2003, where Egan denies Neuman ever abused him or even engaged in sexual contact of any kind with him.

Neuman also listed witness statements that he was also not present during the two mentioned trips to Hawaii.

Both Singer and Neuman also cite another prior deposition of Egan's, made in 2000, where Egan denies ever going outside of the continental US, in direct contradiction to the alleged trips to Hawaii in 1999.

Also listed in the new lawsuit are entertainment executives Garth Ancier and Gary Goddard, both implicated in sexual abuse and rape.

Egan was one of several young men who made allegations in a similar sex abuse lawsuit in 2000, where they accused three executives of the Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) company of sexually abusing him and others at a 1999 party. Egan and the others won the suit by default, as the three defendants fled the country, and were awarded the amount of $4.5 million US.

The accusations of the 2014 lawsuit includes several overlapping statements with the 2000 lawsuit and covers the same time period, but the 2000 suit notably did not include the four new defendants. Something on which Egan's lawyer Herman has declined to comment.

There are also several other notable contradictions that Singer and Neuman are pointing out in their defense. Most significantly, Egan noted in his original deposition that he had not been sexually abused by anyone else aside of the three defendants of that case.

Singer's legal representative, Martin Singer (no relation), has previously spoken out in his clients defense and against what he perceives to be the opportunistic claim to fame by Herman, who filed the lawsuit a mere month prior to the premiere of Singer's highly anticipated latest film, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and held a press conference about it before notifying Singer that he is being sued.

Herman is also representing a British client who filed similar charges against Singer and Goddard shortly after Egan, but insisted on remaining anonymous.

Singer, now 48 years old, is considered one of the biggest names in Hollywood following massive critical acclaim of his second feature, The Usual Suspects, and the commercial and critical success of the first two X-Men films which he directed. He also notably directed Superman Returns, last year's Jack the Giant Slayer, Tom Cruise-starrer Valkyrie, Stephen King adaptation Apt Pupil and produced the hit TV-show House M.D.

His return to the X-Men franchise with this summer's X-Men: Days of Future Past and its upcoming sequel, X-Men: Apocalypse, has been met with great anticipation on the part of fans of the series, as the first two films are widely regarded as the best by critics and audiences alike.
