Nicolas Cage released a statement to Castanet about a story we published early Wednesday. The story (below) says sex photos of the actor and his ex-girlfriend were stolen.

In the statement, Cage says, "Explicit photos of myself and Ms. Fulton simply do not exist and never have."

9:46 a.m. story: Sex photos of Nicolas Cage have reportedly been stolen.



'The Frozen Ground' actor has drafted police officers to recover steamy pictures of himself and ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton - the mother of his 22-year-old son Weston - that were allegedly stolen from her home.



TMZ reports law enforcement officials have arrested handyman Richard Orozco, who is accused of the theft, and charged him with felony burglary. However, Orozco has pleaded not guilty and the photos have yet to be found.



The arrest occurred last month and the handyman's bail has been set at a whopping $1 million.



It's thought the pictures were stolen from Christina's home in April and the culprit nabbed four computers, as well as a box containing the illicit snaps.



The 49-year-old star began dating Christina, 46, in 1988 and the couple welcomed their son Weston into the world in December 1990.



Nicolas has been married three times since his relationship with Christina.



He wed 'Medium' actress Patricia Arquette in 1995, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2001.



The star then married Lisa-Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley, in August 2002 in a short-lived union which lasted just three months. The couple split in November 2002 and finalized their divorce in 2004.



The actor is currently married to former waitress Alice Kim, who is the mother of his eight-year-old son, Kal-El.
