Celebrity attorney who represented Gabrielle Union and FKA Twigs in sexual assault cases paid out a $120,000 secret settlement after being accused of ‘luring and gang-raping 17-year-old girl at his frat house’ when he was in college

Celebrity powerhouse lawyer Bryan Freedman lured a lost and intoxicated 17-year-old to his fraternity house while he was in college and he and two friends gang-raped her.

This is the shocking allegation at the heart of a lawsuit obtained by DailyMail.com and brought by Freedman’s alleged victim in 1986, the year after he graduated from the University of California in Berkeley.

This month, Business Insider revealed that in 1991 Freedman paid out $40,000 to settle the long-buried suit.

Now DailyMail.com can reveal the full horror of the allegations of an assault that Freedman characterized as ‘unsubstantiated,’ before paying a chunk of a $120,000 settlement on the eve of the case going to court.

Neither Freedman, his friends nor their fraternity Zeta Beta Tau, also named in the suit, admitted any liability.

Freedman did not respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.

Today, Freedman, 58, is one of Hollywood’s most celebrated attorneys and the ‘go to’ guy for many A-listers. His clients include Seth Rogen and Julia Roberts.

He has represented survivors of sexual abuse including Gabrielle Union, FKA Twigs, and Bella Thorne, as well as high-profile men accused of committing such crimes.

When Kevin Spacey was accused on multiple counts of sexual impropriety it was to Freedman that the actor turned, and when Chris Cuomo went after CNN for $125million in severance, it was Freedman at his side.

But, the founding partner of Freedman & Taitelman was a first-year attorney, straight out of law school, when he settled a lawsuit filed by a girl whom he and his friends met on the night of October 4, 1985, that could have derailed his career before it began.

In her deposition, seen by DailyMail.com, Freedman’s accuser, then a high school student, claims she was attending a party at a fraternity house on the Berkeley campus where her then-boyfriend was a student.

She was there with friends while her boyfriend was studying and claimed she asked for something non-alcoholic to drink because she was driving that night.

She said she was told by one student that the punch on offer had no alcohol in it and that she drank two large glasses in quick succession.

Later, when she was dancing, she said, ‘I felt sick to my stomach,’ and realized the punch had been spiked.

She said: ‘I felt very sick. [My friend] was having a good time and I decided to go to my car and just sleep for a while because I felt bad about taking her away from having fun.
