THE adoptive “father” of Bend It Like Beckham star Jonathan Rhys-Meyers sexually abused a 15-year-old boy, a court heard yesterday.
Christopher Croft, 66, allegedly attacked Nasser Ben Hassine after drugging his lemonade, leaving him unconscious.
Nasser, now 18, claimed the abuse started in 2004 at Croft’s home in Taghazoute, Morocco, and went on for 18 months.
Three other witnesses — including a German neighbour who reported Croft to a child protection group — claim they often saw him taking kids into his house. One said he saw him nude on his bed with kids.
Croft, who has denied the accusations since his arrest, was remanded in custody by the court in Agadir.
Rhys-Meyers, 30, who also starred in Mission Impossible III, moved in with Croft in Ireland when he was 16 and lived with him for a few years.
