An unidentified masseur claims actor John Travolta sexually assaulted him during a massage in a Beverly Hills Hotel room back in January and is suing Travolta for $2 million on a sexual battery claim, reports Reuters.
The masseur, who is only referred to as John Doe in the court documents, claims Travolta rubbed his leg, touched his genitals and tried to initiate at least one sexual act inside a private bungalow at the hotel.
Travolta's spokesman says the claim is a "baseless lie" and that Travolta wasn't even in California on the date in question, January 16.
"On the date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast. John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and plaintiff for malicious prosecution," says the spokesman, in a statement.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is a monthly newspaper run by Steve DeBellis, a well know St. Louis historian, and it.s the largest one-man newspaper in the world. The concept of The Globe is that there is an old historic headline, then all the articles in that issue are written as though it.s the year that the headline is from. It.s an unusual concept but the paper is now in its 25th successful year! Steve and I collaborated last Spring on an all-Vincent Price issue of The Globe and I.ve been writing a regular monthly movie-related column since. Since there is no on-line version of The Globe, I post all of my articles here at We Are Movie Geeks. This month’s edition of The Globe takes place in 1947. The headline on the cover will scream “Al Capone Dead!” and there will be several articles about the famous gangster. »
