Charlie Sheen sued for assault, sexual battery by dentist

Charlie Sheen is being sued by a dental technician for assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress following an incident where the former 'Two And A Half Men' star allegedly attacked her while in the dentist's chair.

The complaint was filed on Friday at the Los Angeles County Superior court by the attorneys of Margarita Palestino, reported Ace Showbiz.

The dental office technician also claims that her employer, dentist George Bogen, told her that Sheen "was 'high' on a combination of crack cocaine, Theradol, and alcohol" during the incident.

The complaint alleges that on September 25, the television star had an appointment at the office of Bogen, and that Sheen was accompanied by a bodyguard and personal assistant. In the examination room, the complaint states that a nitrous oxide mask was placed on Sheen.

He then "ripped off the mask and jumped out of the chair, causing the dental instruments to fall to the floor" and threatened to kill Palestino before attacking her.

"As a direct and legal cause of (Sheen's) wrongful and intentional conduct, (Palestino) suffered and continues to suffer physical injury, pain and suffering and mental anguish," the complaint claims.

Sheen's attorney Marty Singer has called the lawsuit "ridiculous and fictional" and filed by "an opportunist who is looking for her 15 minutes of fame".
