Long Island- An employee for “Girls Gone Wild” was arrested after a woman told police she was the subject of unwanted sexual contact on the soft porn production company’s tour bus outside a Smithtown night club early Wednesday, Suffolk police said.
Matthew O’Sullivan, 37, of Los Angeles, was charged with first-degree criminal sexual act, police said. O’Sullivan was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in First District Court in Central Islip.
Police said the offense took place at 2:08 a.m. following a “Girls Gone Wild” event hosted by Nubar, at 281A W. Main St., Smithtown.
Footage for the show is shot by crews that patrol bars, beach parties and other events where women in their late teens and 20s are enticed to bare all for videos that are later sold and broadcast on TV and on the Internet.
The 20-year-old woman, whose identity is being withheld due to the nature of the alleged crime, told them she was invited onto the tour bus and then “subjected to unwanted sexual contact,” police said.
Fox 5 News reported that the woman reported she was sexually assaulted during the taping of a video on the bus. Police declined to confirm if the woman was participating in a taping for the show.
It is not known if the woman is from Long Island.
An employee at the Exxon gas station across the street from Nubar told Newsday that the night club manager asked permission a few days ago for the “Girls Gone Wild” tour bus to park in the station lot for a few hours.
“He asked for a favor,” the employee said. “We’re neighbors, so we’re supposed to be friendly . . . We don’t have a problem with this guy.”
A night shift cashier was working at the time of the alleged incident, the employee said, but was unaware of the situation until police units arrived on scene after 2 a.m.
A man at Nubar on Wednesday said he was not at the club Tuesday night — or early Wednesday morning, when the alleged attack took place — and declined to be interviewed.
“I don’t want to be the person putting that out,” the man said, when asked to provide the name of a manager or owner of the club.
Perhaps the most infamous “Girls Gone Wild” alumna is Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the New Jersey woman who later became known simply as Kristen — the high-priced call girl at the center of the sex-ring scandal that toppled Client No. 9, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
