Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Dropped Against Former Disney TV Exec

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A civil lawsuit has been dropped against a former Disney TV executive accused of sexual assault.

The charges were dismissed Wednesday in a Hawaii court against David Neuman.

Michael Egan initially filed lawsuits against Neuman, Bryan Singer, Garth Ancier and Gary Goddard in April.

Egan, 31, said he was sexually abused as a teen while attending parties as part of a Hollywood sex ring that gave young men alcohol and drugs and promised them acting roles.

Neuman filed a motion in May, asking for the case to be dismissed.

In the motion, he included a document from a different case in 2003 where Egan stated Neuman never acted improperly toward him.

Cases are still pending against the other three men.
