Model Files Battery Lawsuit Against ‘Back to the Future’ Actor Crispin Glover

Renowned for his role in “Back to the Future,” actor Crispin Glover finds himself embroiled in legal controversy as a British model files a lawsuit accusing him of battery. Glover, however, staunchly rejects these accusations.

According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the complainant, referred to as Jane Doe, alleges that Glover enticed her to relocate from the UK to his residence in Los Angeles with the promise of providing a home and employment. Upon her arrival, she claims, the reality was starkly different, alleging Glover intended for her to be a live-in girlfriend or sex slave.

The 30-year-old plaintiff further alleges that Glover, now 61, attempted to monitor and control her actions. She recounted an incident where, after leaving the house to attend mosque services against his wishes, Glover purportedly locked her out, rendering her homeless.

In her legal filing, Doe describes a confrontation when she attempted to retrieve her cats from Glover’s property. She claims Glover reacted violently, grabbing her neck and placing her in a headlock, before contacting the authorities and seeking what she describes as a fraudulent restraining order against her.

The restraining order, she insists, was quickly dismissed due to a lack of prosecution. Despite this, she alleges that Glover persisted in harassing her and attempted to coerce her into a sexual relationship.

His lawyer shot back to the Daily Mail: ‘Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms. The reality is that on March 2, 2024, Mr. Glover was the victim of an unprovoked felony assault by Jane Doe at his Los Angeles residence. Mr. Glover called LAPD, which came to the scene, investigated, and arrested Jane Doe.’

The statement continued: ‘These facts are documented by law enforcement records and by the restraining order filed by Mr. Glover against Jane Doe at that time. Mr. Glover intends to vigorously defend himself and pursue all available relief. He is confident the judicial process will expose this lawsuit as a meritless fabrication.’ 

Doe, whose suit made note of her having ‘autism spectrum disorder,’ said Glover first contacted her on social media in 2015 and started trying to cajole her to move to LA.

She claimed that she regarded him ‘as a friend’ at the time but that he made ‘strange advances’ towards her during their correspondence.

When they met in Dresden in 2023, he supposedly showed her Nazi memorabilia he had collected, but she was undeterred from retaining contact with him because he was dangling the prospect of a showbiz job in front of her, per her lawsuit. 

Alleging she was ‘groomed’ with ‘promises of a new life,’ she said she decamped to Los Angeles in ‘early 2024’ and became Glover’s tenant at his ‘sizable’ residence in Silverlake, having given up her Europe apartment and sold many of her belongings purportedly at his urging.

Doe claimed Glover ‘expected her to be his live in girlfriend and work for him for free,’ would ‘track her whereabouts and attempt to control where she went and who she interacted with’ and would ‘discourage her from leaving the house.’

Describing herself as a ‘practicing Muslim,’ she said in her complaint that she tried to go to the mosque one day and he warned her he would lock her out if she did so.

Thinking his threat was an empty one, she went anyway, then returned and found he had indeed allegedly locked up the house with her cats and belongings inside, according to her lawsuit.

Glover, she said, was ‘angry and agitated,’ and when she tried to ‘retrieve her beloved cats,’ he ‘attacked her, grabbing and choking her in a headlock, leaving a visible wound and scar on her neck,’ according to her lawsuit, which includes a picture of the mark that she alleged was caused by Glover.

Glover then rang the police, ‘falsely casting her as an unlawful intruder when she was in fact a tenant who was at all points invited and lawfully residing in her home,’ per the version of events in the plaintiff’s court documents.

She described his subsequent restraining order petition as ‘malicious and fraudulent,’ adding that it ‘went viral’ to the ‘permanent’ detriment of her ‘career and reputation.’

Doe has filed suit against Glover for battery, fraud, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress and wrongful eviction.

She is also suing him for allegedly violating the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act by using ‘threats’ of ‘violence’ to prevent her exercising her right to come and go as she pleased, and by trying to ‘coerce’ her into a ‘captive, sexual relationship.’

Doe wants general and special damages to be determined at trial, as well as punitive and exemplary damages, lawsuit costs, attorney’s fees and further relief to be decided by the court. She has also demanded a jury trial.

Law enforcement sources alleged that Glover called the police to his Silverlake home on March 2, 2024, claiming a man and a woman had assaulted him. The insiders said the authorities responded to the report but did not arrest anyone, via TMZ.
