Steven Seagal sued for sexual assault by kayden nguyen

Movie actor Steven Seagal is facing legal action from a former personal assistant who claims he sexually abused her and illegally trafficked women.

In papers filed with Los Angeles County Superior Court, Kayden Nguyen claims she was assaulted three times before fleeing his home in New Orleans.

The 23-year-old also claims the actor kept two Russian attendants who were available to him at all times.

Seagal's lawyer says the allegations are "ridiculous and absurd".

He added that Ms Nguyen is "a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired".
