A former model has filed a lawsuit against actor Crispin Glover, alleging he 'groomed' her online for years before luring her to Los Angeles in 2024 under the promise of a job, only to then hold her captive as a 'live-in girlfriend/sex slave'. The complaint includes claims of battery, fraud, wrongful eviction, and emotional distress, with the woman seeking unspecified damages.

The details
