Actor Crispin Glover Sued Over Shocking Assault Claims
Actor Crispin Glover, best known for playing George McFly in the 1985 hit Back to the Future, is facing explosive allegations in a new lawsuit filed in California.
A 30-year-old former model, identified in court documents as “Jane Doe,” accuses the 61-year-old actor of grooming her, luring her to Los Angeles with false promises, holding her captive, and physically assaulting her. The complaint was filed Wednesday in Superior Court of California and seeks unspecified damages for battery, fraud and wrongful eviction.
Allegations of Grooming and Captivity
According to the lawsuit, Doe first connected with Glover on social media in 2015. Over the years, the complaint alleges, he persistently encouraged her to move to Los Angeles and made what it describes as unusual advances. The filing claims she viewed him as a friend at the time.
The pair allegedly met in Germany in 2023. The complaint claims that during that meeting, Glover allegedly showed her "items of Nazi memorabilia from his collection."
In 2024, the lawsuit alleges, Glover persuaded Doe to relocate to Los Angeles by offering her housing and a job as his assistant. Instead, the complaint claims, she found herself in what she describes as a coercive and controlling environment.
“He promised her a home and a job if she came to Los Angeles. But when Ms. Doe took the bait and uprooted herself and moved to Los Angeles, she found herself in a disturbing situation where Mr. Glover wanted to control her actions and track her whereabouts and basically serve him as a live in girlfriend/sex slave,” the complaint states.
The lawsuit alleges she was “essentially held captive and used for sex and free labor.”
Alleged Physical Altercation
The filing centers on an incident that occured on March 2, 2024.
According to the complaint, Doe left Glover’s home without his permission. She alleges he locked her out and, when she attempted to reenter, attacked her.
The lawsuit claims Glover grabbed her neck and choked her in a headlock. A photo included in the filing reportedly shows a wound on the front of her neck.
Doe says Glover then contacted police and filed a restraining order against her. That restraining order was later dismissed, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit alleges Doe is now homeless and continues to suffer emotional trauma from the experience.
Glover Denies Allegations
Glover has denied the accusations.
Through a representative, he said he “denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms.”
“The reality is that on March 2, 2024, Mr. Glover was the victim of an unprovoked felony assault by Jane Doe at his Los Angeles residence,” the representative said. “Mr. Glover called LAPD, which came to the scene, investigated, and arrested Jane Doe. These facts are documented by law enforcement records and by the restraining order filed by Mr. Glover against Jane Doe at that time.”
The representative added that Glover “intends to vigorously defend himself and pursue all available relief,” calling the lawsuit a “meritless fabrication.”
The Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Legal Battle Ahead
The case sets up a sharply contested legal fight, with both sides offering starkly different accounts of what happened inside Glover’s Los Angeles home.
Glover, who also appeared in Charlie’s Angels and Alice in Wonderland, now faces serious allegations that could have significant legal and reputational consequences as the lawsuit moves forward.
The case remains pending in California court.
