Also on Thursday, the LAPD confirmed to The Independent that Hammer “is the named suspect in an alleged sexual assault investigation, initiated on 3 February 2021”.
A woman has publicly accused actor Armie Hammer of raping and abusing her, as the Los Angeles Police Department confirms it’s investigating the actor as part of a probe into alleged sexual assault.
In his statement to The Independent, Hammer’s attorney Andrew Brettler said that Effie’s “own correspondence with Mr Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations”.
“From day one, Mr Hammer has maintained that all of his interactions with [the woman] — and every other sexual partner of his for that matter — have been completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory,” Hammer’s lawyer told The Independent in part in a statement.
