Los Angeles — The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday that Armie Hammer would not be charged with a crime in connection to allegations of sexual assault in 2021.
The District Attorney’s Office said that there were not enough evidence to charge the actor of “Call Me by Your Name”, “The Social Network”, and “The Social Network”, with a crime.
In a statement, district attorney spokesperson Tiffiny blacknell stated that “due to the complex nature of the relationship and the inability to prove an unconsensual sexual encounter beyond a reasonable suspicion”, the case could not be proven beyond a doubt.
In 2021, police confirmed that detectives were investigating an allegation. The case was a href=”https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sexual-assault allegations – Armie Hammer presented to Los Angeles DA’s office for review earlier this year/a>. In 2021, the police confirmed that they were investigating a sexual assault allegation. The case was sent to the district prosecutor’s office earlier this year for review.
Hammer, 36 years old, expressed his gratitude to supporters and people who helped him in a statement posted on Twitter.
He wrote: “I am grateful to the district attorney for conducting a thorough inquiry and coming to a conclusion that I stood by all along, that no crimes were committed.” “I am looking forward to the long and difficult process of rebuilding my life now that my name has been cleared.”
Effie, who spoke out on Wednesday about her disappointment at the decision to not charge Hammer, said that she had been disappointed by this.
She said, “I felt a responsibility to speak up and file a complaint in order to hold Armie responsible for all of the trauma and harm he caused me as well as to protect other women against experiencing similar abuse.”
Since coming forward, the woman says she has received death threats and harassment.
Blacknell, a spokesperson for the district attorney, stated that sexual assaults are some of the hardest to prove and that their office assigns the most experienced prosecutors in the office to review these cases.
As prosecutors, it is our ethical duty to charge only those cases in which we are able to prove the facts beyond a reasonable question. “We know it’s hard for women who have been sexually assaulted to come forward and report the incident,” she said.
Effie said that she was 20 years old in 2016 when she started an affair with Hammer who was married. They met on Facebook.
She said he had raped and abused her in 2017, and that she “thought that he would kill me.”
Hammer starred in “The Social Network”, a 2010 film, as Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. He also portrayed Oliver in “Call Me By Your Name”, a 2017 film.
