Seal is under criminal investigation for sexual battery, just one week after he publicly encouraged sexual abuse victims to come forward ... but the singer has denied any wrongdoing.
According to Actress Tracey Birdsall, she and Seal were neighbors in Los Angeles in the fall of 2016. She said the two developed a close friendship -- and only that -- until an incident at Seal's home. Tracey said she was in Seal's kitchen to retrieve a salad spinner she'd lent him when all of a sudden, he lunged at her.
Tracey said Seal forced himself on her, attempting to kiss her. And she shouted, "What are you doing?!" and the singer replied, "I'm kissing you!" (LOL).
Birdsall claimed Seal then began to belittle her for what she was wearing (a tank top and shorts) -- insinuating she was asking for it -- and he began to grope her breasts. She said she demanded he stop.

Tracey said Seal then invited her to sit on the couch next to him ... she said she was in shock and complied. Birdsall claimed Seal once again began to make fun of what she was wearing and groped her again. Tracey said she left shortly after that and did not have contact with Seal again.
Birdsall said it wasn't until she saw Seal's comments about Oprah and Harvey Weinstein -- where he encouraged women to share their own stories of sexual misconduct -- that she decided to report it to the cops.
A 'source' confirmed a report was taken Saturday for sexual battery ... the incident is under investigation.
A message from a rep for Seal:
"Seal vehemently denies the recent allegations made against him by a former neighbor for alleged misconduct more than a year ago. He intends to vigorously defend himself against these false allegations".
