Two women accuse Eric Sim of sexually assaulting them in 2021. Sim said the encounters were consensual according to his attorney.
HOUSTON — Two women are accusing a man identified as a NASA aerospace engineer of sexually assaulting them. Eric Sim, 37, is facing two counts of sexual assault.
According to his lawyer, Sim was arrested from work without notice on Friday and released on a $500,000 bond earlier this week.
Court documents say the alleged assaults happened at his home back in 2021 with two separate women he met through a dating app.
According to prosecutors, one woman told investigators she believed she may have been drugged before the assault while the two were drinking wine. She says she woke up hours later naked with signs of sexual assault injuries. The other victim, they say, claims Sim forced himself onto her when she refused to have sex with him.
We spoke to Sim’s lawyer. He says Sim claims everything was consensual and that he’d gone out on several dates with the women.
“He’s obviously shocked and devastated over these false allegations,” defense attorney Neal Davis said. “I think they’re starting to hit him, the gravity of what these allegations are, and he is looking forward to proving his innocence.”
If Sim looks familiar, that’s because he starred in a viral parody music video of ‘Gangnam Style’ called ‘NASA’s Johnson Style’ eleven years ago.
