Charlie Sheen laughs off ex's claims

Actor and former wild child Charlie Sheen has issued a statement saying that the allegations made by his ex-wife Denise Richards that he viewed child pornography were "laughable and inane".

The former Bond girl filed court papers last week requesting that Sheen be no longer allowed overnight visits from their young daughters on the grounds that he had "an attraction to underage women".

Responding to her claims, Sheen issued a statement this week, which read: "I will not dignify the majority of these allegations set forth by Denise Richards with any measure of response. On its best day it remains laughable and inane.

"I am making every possible effort to assure that the courts focus on my children and their welfare. My refusal to dignify garbage needs to be understood in the context of the history of this case and Denise's need and desire to make it about issues that do not involve anything other than her emotions."

Following their marital breakdown in 2006, the couple became embroiled in an acrimonious divorce case. Sheen was able to find love in a new relationship after divorce, and is currently engaged to real estate investor, Brooke Mueller.
