Armie Hammer sexual-assault allegations being reviewed by L.A. prosecutors
LA TimesThe Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing a case brought against actor Armie Hammer, who has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women and who allegedly coerced others to engage in aggressive sexual activities. The “Call Me by Your Name” star, 36, has been under investigation by LAPD sex-crimes detectives since 2021 after multiple women publicly accused him of sexual assault. “The Social Network” actor’s career came to an abrupt halt in early 2021 after dozens of disturbing text-message exchanges purportedly between Hammer and young women circulated online. In the messages, Hammer allegedly shared cannibalistic desires and his obsession with erotic BDSM practices — allegations that were further underscored last fall in the three-part Discovery+ documentary “House of Hammer.” “I’m here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that I was an asshole, that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on,” Hammer told Air Mail this February in his first interview about the allegations.
