The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has announced that actor Armie Hammer will not face criminal charges in connection with allegations of sexual assault made in 2021.
In a statement released Wednesday, the DA’s office said that due to the complexity of the relationship and inability to prove a non-consensual, forcible sexual encounter, they were unable to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
The allegations against Hammer first surfaced in 2021 when a woman accused him of rape, claiming that she had been in a four-year relationship with the actor. During a news conference at the time, she said, “On April 24, 2017, Armie Hammer violently raped me for over four hours in Los Angeles.”
The DA’s office said that prosecutors conducted an extremely thorough review of the case, but determined that there was insufficient evidence to charge Hammer with a crime.
Hammer has denied the allegations and his attorney has said that the actor “will continue to deny them.” Hammer is best known for his roles in “The Social Network” and “Call Me by Your Name.”
