George Takei responds to assault accuser's changing story

George Takei tweeted on Friday about the sexual misconduct allegations against him, which a recent Observer piece dissected and found to be unreliable.

Takei thanked his husband and fans for standing by him after accusations of inappropriate behavior from Scott Brunton, whose story altered slightly with each retelling. He referred to it as sexual assault, as groping, and finally said he would dismiss the thing as a misunderstanding.

"Despite what he has put us through, I do not bear Mr. Brunton any ill will, and I wish him peace," Takei wrote.
