A Scottish masseuse has claimed an A-list Hollywood actor performed a "disgusting" sex act on her.
The hotel worker told an industrial tribunal: "He abused me and I considered that a criminal act."
She explained he had also behaved strangely during a massage the day before. "He asked me if I was comfortable touching him everywhere and I said no. Throughout the massage, he kept putting his hand underneath his towel but he never kept it there long enough for me to suspect anything."
During the next day's massage, the star – who cannot be named for legal reasons –dropped his towel and grabbed the 34-year-old's wrist before carrying out the sex act, she alleges.
"It was disgusting and, even though he was a Hollywood superstar, I couldn't believe he thought he could get away with something like that," explained the former employee of the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, Scotland. "When I was giving his wife a massage afterwards, I wanted to tell her everything."
The woman, who was sacked last August, is bringing a case of unfair dismissal against Old Course Ltd. She says her bosses treated her badly after she complained about the star's actions in 2004. She explained: "While before I was seen as a model worker, now they were questioning everything I did."
The tribunal was adjourned until May.
