LOS ANGELES (AP) - In a lawsuit, a former personal assistant to ''Superman Returns'' producer Jon Peters claims he sexually harassed her and exposed himself to her 3-year-old daughter.

Peters created a hostile work environment that eventually forced Shelly Morita to quit, according to the suit filed this week. It seeks unspecified damages.

Peters frequently grabbed Morita's breasts, buttocks or legs, hugged and kissed her and made ''rude, sexual and disparaging comments,'' the suit said. During filming of ''Superman Returns'' in Australia in July 2005, Peters crawled into her hotel room bed and refused to leave, according to the lawsuit.

Peters or a representative could not be located Friday.

Morita began working for the producer in February 2005 but quit after about a year, the suit said.

The suit also said Peters exposed himself to Morita and her daughter, saying, ''Look what boys have!''

The suit named Peters and his companies, J.P Organization Inc. and Outback Pictures, Inc.
