Police have presented a sexual assault case involving actor Armie Hammer to the LA County DA's Office, a source tells @NBCNews. https://t.co/OTRUQYybWx

— NBC News (@NBCNews) April 18, 2023

A woman, who has identified herself only as Effie, has publicly accused Hammer of rape, and police confirmed in 2021 that detectives were investigating.

In a statement to NBC News early Tuesday morning, the woman said Hammer has offered to pay an out-of-court settlement to her — though there’s no known lawsuit against the actor in this matter. …

An attorney for Hammer, 36, declined to comment Monday on the progress of the criminal probe. The attorney has previously said Hammer is the victim of “outrageous allegations.”

[This and other allegations involving Hammer have swirled around Hollywood for the last couple of years. Hammer is the scion of the Armand Hammer family, and the allegations were the subject of a documentary on Discovery Plus. — Ed]
