Scandal-hit actor Ezra Miller, 29, has been accused of taking control of a teenage activist, plying her with alcohol, LSD and marijuana, forcing her to drop out of school and taking away her personal items.
Tokata Iron Eyes, now 18, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, met the Flash star when she was just 12 years old when the then 23-year-old Miller visited their reservation in North Dakota. The star would have more than likely been filming Justice League at the time, where one of the sets was located in nearby state Illinois.
Tokata's parents claim they sparked up an unlikely friendship and Miller even flew her to London two years later to visit the Fantastic Beasts studio.
The parents claim in a lawsuit that the actor, who identifies as non-binary and queer, supplied their underage daughter with drugs and alcohol and disrupted her Massachusetts private schooling to such an extent that she dropped out of in December.
When they flew to Miller's home in Vermont in January to retrieve Tokata, they allegedly found bruises on her body and she no longer had a driving license, car keys or a bank card, TMZ reported.

When the teenager was returned to her parents' home, she fled again to New York to reunite with Miller and they have since allegedly been traveling together to Vermont, Hawaii and Los Angeles.
It is just the latest legal case involving Miller, who was arrested in Hawaii in April for allegedly throwing a chair at a woman's head after refusing to leave her home, weeks after another arrest for spitting in someone's face in a bar during a game of darts.
Tokata's father Chase Iron Eyes, a former Democratic House candidate for North Dakota, and his wife, said in their lawsuit: 'Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata.'
The parents are asking the court to intervene and issue an order of protection against Miller on behalf of their daughter.

A hearing is set for next month.
Tokata dismissed the concerns in a post on social media, writing: I'd like to make a statement to acknowledge the tragedy that is the narrative of the general public and the assumptions made on my behalf by my family and friends regarding my stability and otherwise.
'I dropped out of bard five months ago, my friend and comrade William passed shortly there after, my mind was incredibly impacted and I've needed space and time for the processing of grief.
'My comrade Ezra Miller for the entirety of the aforementioned era has only provided loving support and invaluable protection throughout this period of loss.'
Tokata began her life as an activist aged nine when she testified against a uranium mine in the Black Hills.
She also was a prominent campaigner against the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline and has appeared alongside Greta Thunberg to discuss climate concerns.
Miller has been involved in a series of run-ins with the law involving drugs and violence.

In Hawaii in March, the actor reportedly hurled obscenities at a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke then tried to grab the microphone from her mid-song at Margarita Village Bar in Hilo.
On the same night, they lunged at a 32-year-old man who was playing darts at the bar and spat in his face. Police were eventually called in to deal with the out-of-control star.
They later pleaded no contest and were fined $500 for disorderly
