A recent lawsuit against Sir Elton John says that he forced himself on a former security guard, grabbing the man's genitals on multiple occasions.

Jeffrey Wenninger, the complainant, mentioned about three incidents, which went down in 2014, in the lawsuit, reports TMZ.com.

In the first incident, Wenninger said that both of them were in a car together when the 69-year-old singer put his hands in Wenninger's pants. He added that Elton attempted to grab his genitals and put his fingers between Wenninger's butt cheeks.

According to the suit, Elton then told him to "Get your todger out" and "say hello to Uncle Elton." Wenninger noted that he attempted to verbally and physically resist, but it never deterred the singer.

Another time, also in a car, the 'Sacrifice' crooner twisted his nipples and said, "You gorgeous thing, you."

Wenninger claimed that there were several other incidents during his employment, adding that he stopped working with Elton in September 2014.
