LOS ANGELES - In papers filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Denise Richards levels some explosive accusations against ex-husband Charlie Sheen.

In the papers obtained by “Access Hollywood,” Richards is asking the court to terminate Sheen’s overnight privileges with the couple’s two daughters (ages 2 and 3).

Richards claims her ex-husband still exhibits “inappropriate behavior... and conduct,” including “his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts.”

Sheen released the following statement to “Access Hollywood” on Wednesday:

“Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls. She behaves as though she OWNS our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching. The truth will prevail. It always does.”

In addition, Sheen’s lawyer Lance Spiegel told “Access,” “Virtually all of these allegations were previously raised and were denied by Mr. Sheen. The parties have been operating under an existing custody agreement for more than a year, and during that period of time there was no attempt to resurrect any these allegations until Mr. Sheen requested the right to select his own child care provider.”

A then-pregnant Richards filed for divorce in March 2005. The couple’s divorce was finalized in November 2006.

Richards also alleges her children don’t enjoy their time with Sheen and don’t want to spend the night at his house.

When it comes to Sheen’s new fiancée, Brooke Mueller, Richards also takes exception to the way the two handled their engagement, claiming the first the children heard of Sheen’s plans to marry another woman came on a TV interview.

In the filing, Richards claims Sheen and Mueller told her they “did it for the press... he wanted to get the cover of People and Us magazine.”
