Keya Morgan, a memorabilia dealer and former business manager of Stan Lee, has been charged with elder abuse against the Marvel Comics legend.

Los Angeles County prosecutors filed charges against the former business manager, including allegations of theft, embezzlement and forgery against an elder,Lee, who co-created iconic characters Spider-Man, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, died in November last year aged 95.

A year after Lee started working with Morgan in 2017, his family had already filed a restraining order against Morgan amid allegations of elder abuse. Morgan was accused of embezzling artwork, cash and other assets worth more than $5 million . Jonathan Freud, Lee’s attorney, requested Keya be barred from contacting Lee, his daughter JC Lee and his brother Larry Lieber. Morgan was banned from coming within 100 yards of Lee,“I dare them to show one single penny that I’ve ever embezzled out of Stan’s bank accounts or anything,” he told“Stan has never called the police on me. Stan has never asked me not to call him. Stan has never asked me to leave his house.

But a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed an arrest warrant had been issued and Morgan had been charged on Friday. He’s accused of seizing control of Lee’s Hollywood Hills home, as well as using security guards to keep relatives and associates away from the house, writesCourt documents also claim he moved Lee to an “unfamiliar condominium”. This relates to an incident last year in which Morgan allegedly moved Lee from his home at midnight on 8 June, to an apartment in an attempt to isolate him from his family and other caregivers.“He’s never abused or taken advantage of Mr Lee in any way,” Kessel says.
