"Call Me by Your Name" star Armie Hammer is being investigated by LAPD sex crimes detectives after a 24-year-old woman has come forward about the actor.
An LAPD spokeswoman said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times Thursday that "On Feb. 3, sex crimes detectives in the LAPD’s West Bureau took a report from a woman who said she was attacked by Hammer, according to Norma Eisenman, a department spokeswoman."
The woman, named Effie, who is 24 and lives in Europe, came forward Thursday with her attorney Gloria Allred, alleging she had been raped and sexually assaulted by the actor.
Effie alleges, as reported in a Variety article, that on April 24, 2017, Armie Hammer violently raped her for over four hours in Los Angeles, “during which he repeatedly slapped my head against a wall bruising my face. He also committed other acts of violence against me to which I did not consent."
Effie says she met the actor when she was 20 on Facebook and they had an on-and-off again relationship for four years.
“I tried to get away, but he wouldn’t let me. I thought that he was going to kill me,” Effie said in the LA Times article.
Hammer, through his lawyer Andrew Brettler, denied the allegations to media outlets saying that all the sexual encounters he had with everyone were "completely consensual."
“He would often test my devotion to him,” Effie said, adding that Hammer became increasingly violent in the Variety piece. “He abused me mentally, emotionally and sexually,” she said.
Allred did not address whether her client is behind the HouseofEffie Instagram account which apparently accused Hammer of "nonconsensual sexual behavior," according to the LA Times.
Most recently, Vanity Fair published a story on Hammer and a series of allegations and scandals running through his family history.
