So you already know Steven F. Seagal is an action movie star, producer, writer, martial artist, guitarist, and deputy sheriff. A 7th-dan black belt in aikido, Seagal began his adult life as an aikido instructor in Japan. He became the first foreigner to operate an aikido dojo in Japan. He later moved to the Los Angeles, California area where he made his film debut in 1988 in Above the Law.Seagal is also a recording artist and guitarist and the founder of Steven Seagal Enterprises. In addition to his professional achievements, he is also known as an environmentalist, an animal rights activist and a supporter of the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, and the Tibetan independence movement. And you know he likes to wear comfortable clothes. But did you know hes into sex slavery???? ooooo-weeeeeee
Seagal sued for allegedly keeping sex slavesFormer model claims actor assaulted her, kept ?attendants? on call Steven Seagal is accused of hiring young women as personal attendants whose real job was to serve his strange and sometimes violent sexual desires, according to a civil lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles by a 23-year-old former model who describes her experience in harrowing detail.The plaintiff, Kayden Nguyen, said she met the action star in February through an ad on Craigslist seeking an executive assistant and, after three interviews, was told to pack for a trip to New Orleans, where the A&E show "Steven Seagal Lawman" was taping.When she arrived, the lawsuit says, she discovered that Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian "attendants" who were essentially on-call for sex ? 24-seven.On that first night, Nguyen was ushered to a secluded house where Seagal was staying with his wife and the two young women. He then proceeded to treat Nguyen as his "sex toy" despite her complaints, the lawsuit says.She complained the following morning to some of the other employees, assuming that they would deliver the message to Seagal. Hours later, the lawsuit says he assaulted her again, this time forcing her to consume "illegal pills."The following morning, when she confronted Seagal herself, he told her there had been a "misunderstanding"; but hours later, he assaulted her a third time, an attack that stopped only when she ran away, according to the lawsuit.The ordeal carried on for several days, and it wasn't until Feb. 28 ? the following Sunday ? that she was able to escape the situation, the lawsuit says.The lawsuit says Nguyen told Seagal that she had to leave to meet with family members who would be suspicious if she didn't show up. Nonetheless, he told her not to leave the house and followed her with a gun equipped with a flashlight as she went out to a waiting cab, which sped away as she jumped in the front seat.A message left by TheWrap with the action star's attorney, Stuart Rosenthal, was not immediately returned Monday. Messages left with A&E were also not immediately returned.It was not clear why Kayden Nguyen chose to file a civil lawsuit instead of a criminal complaint. Messages left with her lawyers were not immediately returned Monday.Nguyen's lawsuit claims that even after she got away, Seagal and his employees tried desperately to persuade her to return. When she escaped, she left behind "everything of value she owned," including car keys, her laptop, clothes, and "hundreds of dollars worth of makeup." She was told she would not get the items back until she signed an agreement stating she would not report the sexual attacks.The lawsuit says Nguyen had accepted the job on Feb. 22, a Monday, and was sped in a limo to a waiting private jet. Her first indication that something was awry was when Seagal told her, as the plane was taking off, that his wife "wouldn't mind if we had a sexual relationship."Nguyen's lawsuit said she could identify a "unique physiological reaction" that Seagal has to sexual arousal, which could be corroborated by the other "attendants." The suit did not specify what that reaction is.The lawsuit alleges sexual harassment in violation of federal labor laws; illegal sex trafficking; retaliation; wrongful termination; and false representations about employment. Each of the six counts seeks in excess of $1 million in damages.

Seagal is your classic over-achiever.

Please never even think about mentioning the mighty Buddhist warrior's name anywhere near that jug eared muppet again.
So many questions!
plus has anyone actually *seen* lawman? my lawrd it's a disgrace. it's a bunch of the most unprofessional old white dudes I've ever seen in cop uniforms. they roll around harassing local residents basically.

From what I remember reading. It's not like they were in a fight or anything. Steve on set of Under Siege just said he couldn't get choked out. And gene proved him wrong. His whole stick was that he could resist getting choked out without even resisting and was proved wrong. And I don't think he really shit his pants... That's not what people who were there tell the story.
The story does seem a little far fetched.
I mean, a guy with 20+ years of being a celebrity and police experience hunting for sex slaves on craigslist??? If true... IDIOT!!
I'm not quite sure i could see Seagal doing all that running for a soccer movie. Seems like he prefers the quick "from-sitting-quick-transition-to-punching" roles.
Don't forget, the Stallone role was as goalkeeper (ok, goaltender for the yanks) - he'd get to stand still for most of the game and occasionally punch shit out of the ball. Everyone's a winner!
I heard if from a guy who heard if from judo gene; that's 1 degree of hearsay I guess. Maybe apocryphal.
things happen for a reason.....
And this part I don't understand.
"It was not clear why Kayden Nguyen chose to file a civil lawsuit instead of a criminal complaint. Messages left with her lawyers were not immediately returned Monday."
This would go some ways toward an explanation, if she's just making the whole thing up:
Perhaps she was concerned that a criminal complaint wouldn't be effective, what with Seagal's deep connects on the force, seeing as he's a "lawman" and all..
People always try to do down the chosen few.
majide? i didn't know that.
