Sizemore accused of molesting 11-year-old

Tom Sizemore is accused of sexually molesting an 11-year-old actress on a movie set in 2003.

The Hollywood Reporter posted a story late on Monday recounting how Sizemore, then 42, allegedly was told to leave the Utah set of a crime thriller called Born Killers (shot as Piggy Banks) after the child actress told her mother that Sizemore had touched her genitals during a photo shoot for the film.

But her parents declined to press charges and months later, Sizemore returned for reshoots in Malibu.

THR said the story was based on interviews with a dozen people involved with the production who confirmed that Sizemore was sent home over the alleged incident, and that it provoked anger and tensions on the set. Sizemore, 55, already notorious in Hollywood for his drug use and convictions for battery against women, has never been accused of molestation before.

He is best known for his roles in action films and dramas, especially Saving Private Ryan in 1998 and Black Hawk Down and Pearl Harbor in 2001.

Despite his rap sheet, he has worked steadily; his IMDb page lists 15 projects in 2018 alone.

This incident has previously gone unreported, THR reported, but is coming out now in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment-and-rape scandal, which has set off a cascade of similar allegations and a belated industry move towards openness about such accusations.

Reporters reached out to Sizemore’s representatives but received no response. His agent, Stephen Rice, said: “Our position is ‘no comment’.”
