Following allegations made against Terry Richardson, Bruce Weber is the next major fashion photographer to be accused of lewd offenses. 

Industry veteran&nbsp;photographer Bruce Weber has been accused of sexual misconduct during a casting call, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://nypost.com/2017/12/01/fashion-photographer-accused-of-touching-forcefully-kissing-male-model/">NY Post</a>. Male model Jason Boyce is suing the photographer over the incident, which allegedly happened three years ago at the photographer&#39;s Manhattan office.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Mr. Boyce, who had been photographed numerous times in the past, was then subjected to a series of practices by Mr. Weber that were unlike any he had experienced previously,&rdquo; the suit apparently says. &quot;Mr. Weber grabbed Mr. Boyce&rsquo;s arm, and moved it back and forth, so that Mr. Boyce was forced to rub his own genitals.&rdquo; The&nbsp;NY Post&nbsp;also reports that Weber put his fingers in the models mouth and kissed him before leaving.&nbsp;

Weber has photographed magazine covers for&nbsp;Vogue,&nbsp;Vanity Fair,&nbsp;Elle, and more, but is perhaps most commercially wellknown for his ad campaigns during the heyday of Abercrombie &amp; Fitch. His work frequently glorifies the male form, and he has been a vocal champion of male models.&nbsp;

The&nbsp;NY Post&nbsp;report is an important reminder &mdash; amidst the distressing&nbsp;claims in Hollywood by women &mdash; that men, too, can be victims of sexual assault. According to a <a href="https://www.rainn.org/statistics/victims-sexual-violence">study</a> by the Department of Justice in 2013, 1 in every 10 sexual violence victims are male. It is also a reminder that sexual misconduct extends far beyond the reaches of Hollywood and Washington (a fact that models like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/edie-campbell-pens-open-letter-to-the-fashion-industry">Edie Campbell</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cameron-russell-myjobshouldnotincludeabuse">Cameron Russell</a> stays in the public&#39;s mind).

Weber has yet to comment on the allegations specifically, though his office did recently release the following statement when asked by <a href="http://wwd.com/eye/people/male-model-jason-boyce-accuses-bruce-weber-of-sexual-harassment-and-discrimination-11061619/">WWD</a> about a larger&nbsp;New York Times story on sexual harassment&nbsp;in the industry that&#39;s rumoured to be on the way: &ldquo;Bruce believes everyone should, at all times, be treated fairly, correctly and with respect.&rdquo;
