Seal accused by neighbour

BRITISH singer Seal is being investigated for sexual assault in the US after a former neighbour alleged he groped and tried to kiss her – a claim he vehemently denies.

American actress Tracey Birdsall, 54, told show business website TMZ Seal grabbed her breasts and repeatedly tried to kiss her when she went to his home to pick up a salad spinner.

Seal is being investigated for sexual battery by the LA County Sheriff’s Department, according to TMZ.

A representative for Seal said in a statement: “He intends to vigorously defend himself against these false allegations.”
