Back to the Future actor Crispin Glover sued for battery

A former model filed a complaint Wednesday in the Superior Court of California alleging that crispin glover lured her from Europe to his Los Angeles home, held her captive, used her for sex and free labor, and physically assaulted her. The suit seeks unspecified damages and follows a March 2, 2024 police response to an altercation at the actor’s residence.

Crispin Glover denies allegations

A representative for the actor said he denies the allegations in the strongest possible terms and described the lawsuit as baseless. The representative stated that on March 2, 2024 the actor was the victim of an unprovoked felony assault at his Los Angeles residence, that he called law enforcement and that a restraining order was filed at that time. The representative said the actor intends to vigorously defend himself and pursue available relief, and expressed confidence that the judicial process will expose the complaint as a fabrication.

Allegations in the complaint

The complaint says the plaintiff, identified in court papers as "Jane Doe" and described as 30 years old, met the actor through social media in 2015 and maintained contact for years. It alleges that when they met in person in 2023 in Dresden, Germany, the actor showed items from his collection that included Nazi memorabilia. The filing alleges the actor then promised the woman a home and a job in Los Angeles; when she arrived she found she was expected to be a live-in girlfriend, to perform unpaid labor and to provide sexual services.

The complaint says crispin glover controlled the plaintiff’s movements and contacts and that after she left the home without permission in March 2024 he locked her out. When she attempted to retrieve personal items and cats, the complaint alleges the actor grabbed her neck and choked her in a headlock, leaving a visible wound and scar. The filing contends the actor subsequently called police, made a false police report and filed a restraining order, which the complaint says was later dismissed. The plaintiff asserts she remains homeless and emotionally scarred by the events described and is suing for battery, fraud and wrongful eviction.

Court status and next steps

The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California; it seeks unspecified damages. Law enforcement responded to an assault report at the actor’s Silver Lake home on March 2, 2024 and did not make arrests that day. The actor’s representative has characterized the March incident as an assault on the actor and referenced law enforcement records and the restraining order as part of that account.

• The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages for battery, fraud and wrongful eviction.
• The actor denies the allegations and says he will vigorously defend himself.
• The March 2, 2024 police response to an altercation at the Los Angeles residence is cited in court papers.

Publicly observable next steps will be further court filings in the Superior Court of California. The complaint opens formal litigation; watch for any filed response from the defendant, scheduling orders, or additional filings that clarify the parties’ positions and the timeline for the case.

Separately, the complaint and responses note the actor’s past roles, including the 1985 film in which he played George McFly and later appearances in other feature films; those credits are referenced in the court filing and statements about the parties involved.
