Sheen sues magazine

CHARLIE Sheen is suing the National Enquirer, saying that the magazine defamed him by alleging he sexually assaulted teen actor Corey Haim.

In papers filed in Los Angeles, Sheen called the tabloid’s allegations “ridiculous” and “disgusting”.

The Enquirer’s November 8 edition includes a quote from actor Dominick Brascia, saying Sheen had assaulted Haim when he was in his mid-teens and Sheen around 20.

Sheen and Haim, who died in 2010, both appeared in the 1986 release Lucas. Sheen is seeking unspecified damages.

Parent company, American Media Inc said it looked “forward to litigating” the case.
