I slept with my students: James Franco breaks silence on sexual misconduct allegations

The Oscar nominee, known for films like Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' series, 'Pineapple Express' and 'The Interview', also revealed he has struggled with sex addiction for years after becoming sober from alcohol at a young age.

LOS ANGELES: Nearly four years after he was accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour, actor-writer James Franco has broken his silence admitting to the claims he denied initially, saying it was 'wrong' to sleep with the students.

The Oscar nominee, known for films like Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' series, 'Pineapple Express' and 'The Interview', also revealed he has struggled with sex addiction for years after becoming sober from alcohol at a young age. "Over the course of my teaching, I did sleep with students, and that was wrong," Franco told Jess Cagle on his SiriusXM podcast this week.

The 43-year-old actor also said there were times where he was convinced that it was ok to be in a "consensual" relationship with a student.
