Charlie Sheen denies sexually abusing Corey Haim
Charlie Sheen has denied allegations he sexually abused late actor Corey Haim when Haim was aged 13.
A friend of Haim's, Dominick Brascia, told the National Enquirer Haim confided in him about the alleged sexual assault incident.
The incident allegedly took place on the set of the 1986 movie Lucas, which Haim and Sheen starred in.
Sheen would have been 19 at the time of the alleged events.
Lawyers for Sheen, who is now aged 52, strongly denied the claims, saying their client never had sex with Haim.
In a further denial, representatives told E! News that "Charlie categorically denies these allegations."
The claims levelled at Sheen by former actor Brascia include allegations that Haim had sex with Sheen during the time they worked on the film Lucas.
"He told me they smoked pot and had sex," Brascia told the Enquirer. "He said they had anal sex.
"When Corey wanted to fool around again, Charlie was not interested."
In the report, Brascia recalls seeing Sheen during a night out with Haim - but the older actor refused to acknowledge Haim, saying he didn't know who he was.
Later that evening, Brascia said Sheen told him one-on-one that he just didn't "like that little a**hole," Haim.
"I hate that a**hole," he allegedly said. "Get him out of here. He's a freaking jerk."
Brascia also claims any time Haim was brought up, Sheen would "shut down" the conversation about him, and says Sheen "had a grudge against Haim forever."
“Corey was so confused by the sexual encounter he believed, like so many victims, he was ‘in love’ with his abuser,” another insider recalls in the report.
Haim died in 2010 from pneumonia, aged 38. He battled drug addictions throughout his career.
The statute of limitations for the reported incidents have expired.
