All of this is still continuing despite Russell coming under fire for the alleged sexual assault of his 19-year-old transgender niece. I say alleged because the case was dropped because there was no police witness, despite Russell himself admitting to the incident.

“In December 2011, Russell’s 19 year old transgender niece, Nicole Peloquin, filed a police report alleging Russell had sexually assaulted her. The case was closed without any charges being filed because the alleged assault wasn’t witnessed by police. [108] According to the police report, Russell offered to help Peloquin with ab exercises during which his hand hovered above her private parts. After inquiring about the hormones she used to increase breast size Russell slipped his hands under her shirt and felt both breasts. Russell confirmed that the incident happened, but told police that Peloquin was “acting very provocative toward him” and invited him to feel her breasts. He also admitted to being “curious about the breast enhancement.” This incident was also directly mentioned in the 2014 Sony Pictures hack. [109]”
