Perjury rap in fake sex assault case

A Hollywood wannabe’s big-money dreams rested on fake allegations that he was sexually assaulted by high-powered entertainment business execs, Manhattan federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

Rovier Carrington, 32, in 2018 filed a made-up $50 million sexual assault lawsuit against Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey, who died in 2017, and MTV head Brian Graden, the feds said in a criminal complaint.

Carrington accused the men in Manhattan Federal Court of sexually assaulting his “naïve 21-year-old, vulnerable, sheltered, big-eyed and bushy-tailed” self in 2010 while making his failed reality TV show “The Life of a Trendsetter” and in 2015 when he claims he made a deal for a second show.

It was all a tissue of lies, say the feds, who busted Carrington in Los Angeles on Wednesday on a perjury charge.

“Carrington was young, very good looking, mixed-race, charismatic young kid, who happened to be a talented writer and musician,” said the now-dismissed 2018 lawsuit.

The suit also noted that Carrington is a great-grandson of one of the Three Stooges — according to other reports, Carrington says he descended from Moe Howard.

“As such, with a pocket full of dough, but zero studio experience to speak of, Plaintiff was easy prey,” the suit said. It added that “the executives of Paramount/Viacom wasted little time exploiting” Carrington.

Carrington charged the executives with exploiting and defrauding him, claiming Grey and Graden falsely led him to believe they’d produce his work for no reason other than their own “sexual gratification.”

A federal judge last year dismissed Carrington’s lawsuit, barred him from refiling the case, and ordered him to pay $600,000 in legal fees to Grey’s and Graden’s lawyers.

As part of his original lawsuit, Carrington offered to produce as evidence fake emails from 2011 that purported to show him confiding in a friend about the unproven incidents, the feds say.

If convicted, Carrington faces up to five years in prison.
