Hollywood actor Armie Hammer has been accused of raping a woman in Los Angeles. The woman, a 24-year-old named only as Effie, made the allegations during a virtual press conference held by high-profile US lawyer Gloria Allred. The accuser broke down while reading a prepared statement, alleging she first met Hammer (34) on Facebook in 2016. Hammer, known for films including The Social Network and Call Me By Your Name, previously described social media allegations against him as “vicious and spurious online attacks against me”. “But I will only say that Effie has the courage to cooperate in any investigation that may be taking place.”Read MorePA Media
