The incident dates back to 1986.

A representative for Charlie Sheen has said that the actor “categorically denies” the recent allegations that were made against him.

The National Enquirer stated that Sheen had a relationship with Corey Haim on the set of their 1986 film, Lucas. At the time of filming, the late actor was 13-years-old and Sheen was 19.

Haim’s longtime friend, Dominick Brascia, told the publication that Sheen sexually assaulted Haim during that film’s production.

“He told me they smoked pot and had sex. He said they had anal sex. Haim said after it happened Sheen became very cold and rejected him. When Corey wanted to fool around again, Charlie was not interested,” he said.

The publication also said that “HIV-infected Charlie Sheen is finally being unmasked by The National Enquirer as a twisted child molester”.

Since these allegations were made, a representative for the Platoon and Wall Street star has told the Hollywood Reporter that “Charlie Sheen categorically denies these allegations.”

In recent weeks, Haim’s name has been in the news due to the fact that his close friend and The Lost Boys co-star, Corey Feldman, is promising to expose an alleged paedophile ring that exists in Hollywood. Feldman also claims that he was abused.

Haim passed away from pneumonia in March 2010. He was 38.
