A California man has been charged with perjury in relation to a federal lawsuit against Hollywood executives that led to a contempt order and a judge’s ruling that his claims “are at once unsupported and unsupportable.”

A criminal complaint in New York accuses Rovier Carrington of lying during the course of the lawsuit, which accused Hollywood executives at Paramount Pictures Corp. and Viacom Inc. of sexually assaulting him and defrauding him over a reality television show idea.
