Nicholas Brendon, known for his role as Xander Harris on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has been accused of grooming a teenage girl.

The American Actor died on March 20 aged 54 – his family said he ‘passed in his sleep of natural causes’.  

Brendon allegedly began texting a 17-year-old from South Carolina in 2013 after they met at a comic con event in Washington DC. 

She claims she had always wanted to be an actor, so asked to give Brendon her number with the hope he could help her out.
