Superman Returns producer, Jon Peters, is being sued by his former assistant over sexual harassment allegations.

According to the BBC, Shelley Morita claims that Mr. Peters often grabbed and kissed her and made "rude and disparaging comments".

The former assistant also claimed that Peters exposed himself to her three-year old daughter.

Ms. Morita began working for the film producer in February 2005, but resigned after just a year.

She is seeking as yet undisclosed damages.
