John Travolta is facing a third accuser who is charging the actor with sexual misconduct, said The Daily Mail (U.K.). A Chilean man came forward this week alleging that Travolta, 58, offered him $12,000 for sex on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 2009. The Pulp Fiction star recently defended himself against allegations by two unidentified American masseurs who filed a joint suit claiming sexual assault and other charges. Okorie Okorocha, the lawyer who represented the two masseurs, claims that “more than 100 men” have contacted him with similar stories about Travolta. But Okorocha was forced to drop his first client when Travolta’s lawyers provided evidence that he was 3,000 miles away on the day the alleged incident occurred. The second plaintiff, a masseur from Atlanta, may settle his case in private mediation, sources said.
