Seven people have come forward to accuse Hollywood producer Gary Goddard of molesting or attempting to molest them when they were child actors, the Los Angeles Times reports. Goddard, who spent years mentoring child actors in Santa Barbara, California, is accused of sexual misconduct ranging from inappropriate touching to repeated instances of sexual abuse, according to the report. The allegations come after former ER star Anthony Edwards penned an online essay last month accusing Goddard of sexually abusing him when he was a boy, describing him as âa man whoâs attracted to little boys, and attracted in the sickest way.â One of Goddardâs accusers, former actor Mark Driscoll, told the Los Angeles Times he dreaded Goddardâs visits, because âI knew I would have to experience things I didnât want to.â Sam Singer, Goddardâs publicist, has disputed the allegations, describing them as âfull of innuendo and hearsay.â
