Horatio Sanz accused of sexually abusing teen fan

If she has emails and texts to back it up, he’s toast.

He's currently on a show with Andrew Rannells and Don Cheadle on Showtime. There goes that!

Aw, man. I liked him. Jarrett's Room, with Gobi (Sanz) was one of favorite SNL skits.

Serves him right. I had this motherfucker in all my Celebrity Death Pools for over a decade and he just wouldn’t die. Fuck you very much, Horatio Sanz.

R2, they killed him off this season.

Side Note: He's cute in OP's link photo. I haven't seen him since he was on SNL.

Who?

He's hideous

Page Six has more details and the summons details. She's not only suing Sanz, she's suing NBC and SNL because she attended their after-parties. She didn't even live in New York - she would fly in with friends to wait in the fan line which now I understand why she let Sanz go so far with her. A fan girl (she ran an SNL fansite and would use the info Sanz provided to post to her site) wanting access to one of the stars.

The girl first met Sanz at age 15 — when he was 31 years old — in 2000 after he invited her to a taping of the sketch comedy show, according to the lawsuit, which names the actor and SNL Studios as defendants.

In August 2001, when the girl was 16, Sanz allegedly contacted her via the instant message handle “Marblechomper,” offered her tickets to the show and leaked her info about “SNL” hosts and musical guests, the suit states.

He then asked her to send him photos of herself and “to perform sexual acts, including masturbation, which he asked her to describe to him” — kicking off what would allegedly be a years-long cyber sex relationship with the teen, according to the lawsuit.

“Sanz exchanged messages with [the teen] and steered conversations to discuss sex, sexual experiences, sexual activities, sexual fantasies, masturbation,” the lawsuit states, which notes he called her disparaging terms such as “slut,” “slutty” and “bitch.”

According to the lawsuit, Sanz later “admitted and bragged to [her] that he masturbated during these conversations.”

In September 2001, Sanz allegedly invited her to an “SNL” party where she drank beer with hard-partying former “SNL” actor Jimmy Fallon, Sanz and other NBC bigs, according to the lawsuit, which doesn’t name Fallon as a defendant.

“Plaintiff sat with Jimmy Fallon and others in a VIP area, ordered and consumed a Budweiser beer in the presence of NBC/SNL employees,” the suit states.

During the drug-fueled 2002 party where Sanz allegedly sexually assaulted the teen, he also fondled her in front of other party-goers at the star-studded bash, according to the suit.

His creepy actions included “kissing her, groping her breasts, groping her buttocks, and digitally penetrating her genitals forcibly and without [her] consent,” according to the lawsuit.

One stunned party-goer responded, “Are you f—ing serious?” — but apparently did nothing to stop it, the suit alleged.

For the rest of high school, the teen became depressed, “regularly self-medicated with dissociative drugs” and was later hospitalized, according to the suit.

But was there an egg-shaped penis?

I hope Jimmy Fallon gets taken down with him. Fuck that sycophantic unfunny drunk.

Sad.

17 is legal in New York. Unless it was actual rape I don’t see the problem.

He played Rosie on SNL

What a whore!

"I'm not like that anymore" kinda implies that he WAS like that in the past

I wonder if he broke character and started laughing when he was finger banging her.

Jesus Christ! I did MORE for less! And I was 12!!!

[quote] "I'm not like that anymore" kinda implies that he WAS like that in the past

His attorney is denying he made any of those statements.

If they are on her phone, his denial will just make him look worse.

He was a funny cast member. I would like to hear his side of the story. Maybe she was pretending to be older? Something seems a little bit fishy here and I am usually on the side of MeToo. But there have been bogus cases like when they tried to take down Morgan Freeman with no actual proof.

Please tell me what I am missing here.

This makes the cast look bad if she was telling people at the after party she was in high school.

The phrase digital penetration is such a turn off.

There's no way feminist queens Tina and Amy didn't know.

R21, multiple women spoke out against Freeman. If that counts as "no proof" to you then.....whatever.

I don't know what you're "missing"...it seems like Sanz pretty much acknowledged that he did bad shit ("I'm not like that anymore"). I guess people believe what they want to believe

I always found him adorable. He'd make a cute husbear.

[quote] I don't know what you're "missing"...it seems like Sanz pretty much acknowledged that he did bad shit ("I'm not like that anymore").

I don't know what you're missing, since Sanz denies he said this. Obviously if there's actual proof, it will come out, but it may boil down to "believe all women."

Women are psycho! I don't believe she's traumatized! TWENTY YEARS later??? Plus, while it may have been immoral, it wasn't illegal. This is a money grab!

He's a fat. Guilty!

R28 probably supports guys who sue the church because a priest abused them in 1955

You just want to bash women. I mean, what kind of a douche defends a guy who was setting and demanding naked pictures of a 15-year-old girl?

R30 thinks everything he/she reads on Twitter is the gospel truth.

He did a great Elton John.

[quote] 17 is legal in New York.

Nope.

20 years ago, it was 17.

She's claiming he forced her into sex acts, so her age would be irrelevant. It sounds like he was asking her to send naked pictures when she was under 18 so child porn laws would apply.

If she came, it wasn't "rape rape".

Given the allegations this should be a bigger story in the press.

Some celebrities can't even get arrested.

It would probably get more coverage if it were a current cast member or at least a recent one.

Has Jimmy Fallon released a statement?

What about Susan Dey?

R24, bullfuckingshit. I seriously doubt the only people who knew about it were the dudes to whom he was dumb enough to brag about it.

"I'M CAROL!"

Interesting how some girl never say no as if they have to will power until they turn 18

R28, trauma can take a long, long time to surface in a way for the victim to be able to name it, heal from it, take action regarding it. This goes for women and men.

I don’t know the motives of THIS woman, but the timeline itself is not suspicious.

I am sick of victim blaming. Trauma is complex and pervasive.

R43 must enjoy sexually assaulting 15-year-olds

R45.

R44 Mmmmyeah. There's a difference between "rape" and "regret".

R47, he was setting underage girls and assaulting them. He admitted he was wrong. Fight the real enemy

R48.

I don't think it's too much to ask that Jimmy Fallon gets canceled.

She was a clout chaser. She picked the ugliest, grossest, fattest, member of the cast to pursue! Clearly, she's either a diabolical schemer, or she's not "all there"! Probably both.

(And what the fuck does Fallon have to do with this? Because he said hello to her, the world should "cancel" him???. The fake OUTRAGE just blathers on!!!)

R51, no one "canceled" him. Get a grip.

What's wrong with some of you? If he was her teacher or volleyball coach or 30 year old boss at McDonald's, you'd be be screaming for his head. And rightfully so. No wonder so many victims never come forward. He's not even cute or talented.

R47 even if there is a difference between rape and regret, regret itself can be poisonous to live with.

Again, I don’t know what this woman’s deal is, just that pain/trauma/ regret can linger and be damaging to mental health.

20 years is not a very long time in some ways.

R51 Can't be trusted with children or matches.

The Michael Che controversy died down and so will this I suppose.

Will this make him gain the weight back?

I want to hear more about the Jimmy Fallon angle, that overlaugher needs to go down

[quote]At a party at another cast member's loft, Sanz allegedly digitally penetrated her in full view of other NBC employees, one of whom asked him, "Are you fucking serious?"

WTF? ewwwww

Not to worry. Jay leno is warming up in the wings.

R37 Maybe cause no one knows who the hell he is. I Googled him and still have no idea.

I was date raped. The guy who did it and I had multiple friends and acquaintances in common. I didn't go near him nor did I respond to him when he texted me weeks later to apologize.

I have no sympathy for this person who kept in contact with Sanz and even went back to see him and hang out with him. It wasn't a family member or teacher she would be forced to see. She had to go out of her way to get to NYC to see him.

She is a gold-digging slut. Sorry.

I agree with R62 somewhat. My ex date raped me in Palm Springs, a couple of years after we broke up. We happened to both be out there at the same time and it was his birthday, so I met him for drinks and he slipped something in my drink. *I've never been drugged in all my life besides this instance.) I woke up the next morning with *his* underwear around my ankles, and no recollection of anything after meeting him at the bar x12 hours earlier. So yes, rapes like that happen, especially with people who are familiar and have a history together. But as R62 also pointed out in a behavioural aspect, I've steered clear of this guy for years, even when he comes back into my town. In fact, the last time he was in town, I ended up blocking his # after he kept texting me to come to his penthouse suite. I made the conscious decision not to put myself in that situation again.

Not sure if anyone else posted this one, but this Horatio skit with Lohan is an 'SNL' cult fave. I'll post it here, but I'm not sure I can watch it again for awhile. Just to think he was diddling that underage girl, and here Lohan is at the age of 17 sitting by him in the sketch.

So much misogyny on here.

Gay men nee to get over their jealousy of women. It's not heathy.

What does Michael Che making stupid jokes have to do with Sanz raping a child?

Even if the woman is in it for the money, it still doesn't make Sanz any less of a lowlife creep.

Any fan of Horacio Sanz deserves what they get.

Since Covid, I've had a few mid -thirties female friends call me up or talk on zoom happy hours about what went wrong in their lives- why they are unmarried, childless, unsuccessful careers - and who to blame. If they could sue the men they blame for their "emotional damage", which they chose to participate in, they would. They feel robbed of their last few years to make something work and are looking for a quick fix.

How many #metoo regret/rape civil suits - NOT CRIMINAL - are brought by women in their mid-thirties?

I didn't think it was possible to dislike Horatio Sanz more, yet here we are.

This is barely raising a stink in the media. And what is Jimmy Fallon’s role exactly? I think that people are scared to ruffle NBC/Universal’s feathers. Anyone else would have been nuked by now.

[quote] "Just believe me I'm not like that anymore."

Sure I might have abused you, but I’m over it, you know?

Go to the police.........probably true Go to a lawyer............made up

"Physical and mental abuse " Please. This girl is a JOKE.

Jezebel Succubus uses tits to get what she wants, then gets sour when tits go south.

#Me Who???

Lorne Michaels must be the devil as he seems to have a lot of power and people are scared of him

One should never be ashamed or regret using Nature’s Credit Card.

Typical CIS-gender nonsense!

If you go by what women claim,apparently 99% of every one under the age of 60 has been sexually abused or raped repeatedly for the last 50 years. Apparently every male out there ,every father,grandfather,brother,uncle etc does nothing but run around raping women . Its gotten to the point where you just dont know what to believe anymore. If little Susie was playing in the pool with her cousins and uncles and one uncle picks her up to toss her in the air and his hand touches he ass while doing so,then she was "molested" Theater of the Absurd is what this all has turned in to.

I find these stories of people being confidantes to women very hard to believe. Why would someone share their troubles with people who are so obviously unsympathetic and judgmental towards them? These are the last people you would share your troubles with.

The accuser did a recent interview with Daily Beast.

“If you go by what women claim,apparently 99% of every one under the age of 60 has been sexually abused or raped repeatedly for the last 50 years. Apparently every male out there ,every father,grandfather,brother,unc - le etc does nothing but run around raping women .”

Yup. Pretty close. Men are utter shit. Just because you want to fuck them doesn’t make them great.

To all the pro sexual assault trolls that pop up on these threads like pus-engorged blisters, she told Sanz and the SNL cast that she was a junior in high school.

Her friend said Sanz was predatory towards her too. He likes em young and fawning. Grooming an underage female and assaulting her is still a crime.

They’re both shit.
