Illusionist: The video reportedly shows flamboyant entertainer Roy Horn groping employees

A graphic video allegedly showing flamboyant entertainer Roy Horn groping employees and squeezing their nipples is being offered for sale, it was reported today.



The illusionist, who was nearly killed by a tiger in 2003, is shown sexually assaulting three caretakers, according to website TMZ , which claims to have seen the video.



TMZ described the video as 'extremely disturbing' and reported that the men had filed a lawsuit against the entertainer, who made millions as one half of magic duo Siegfried & Roy.



Mr Horn has undergone extensive rehabilitation after he was mauled by a white tiger during a live show.



The film, shot in 2010, apparently shows the German-born illusionist assaulting a caretaker who was helping him to the bathroom.



He allegedly puts his hand on the caretaker's bottom and thrusts his own bottom into the man's crotch.



TMZ reported that, in two clips, the entertainer is seen grabbing the genitals of two male caretakers.



He reaches under the shirt of one of the caretakers and seems to tweak his nipples, at which point the man appears to writhe in pain.



Mr Horn is said to have whipped one of the caretakers with an oxygen tube.



He also manhandled one of the caretakers and forcibly kissed him on the mouth, the website added.

TMZ said the caretakers, who are all family men, were suing Mr Horn in a Nevada court for alleged sexual assaults.

Last September the Las Vegas Sun reported that Siegfried and Roy had been awarded $37,415 against attorneys who had been suing Mr Horn over unrelated sexual harassment allegations.
