The Los Angeles County D.A.’s office has decided not to file sexual assault charges against actor Armie Hammer, following a lengthy investigation by the LAPD.
In a statement, the D.A.’s office said it could not prove rape allegations beyond a reasonable doubt, in part due to the “complexity of the relationship” between Hammer and the accuser.
The accuser, who was previously identified as Effie, reported Hammer to the police in February 2021. She alleged that Hammer had been physically abusive during an on-and-off relationship that spanned four years, and said that he had violently raped her in 2017. Hammer vehemently denied her allegations.
