Hammer is currentlyfacing rape allegations for a 2017 incidentwith his former partner, who came forward in March, accusing the actor of sexual assault. He has denied all accusations against him.
In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Hammer’s lawyer denied the rape allegations, stating that the encounter between Hammer and Effie was “completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory.”
His lawyer added, “Effie’s own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations. As recently as July 18, 2020, [Effie] sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her. Mr. Hammer responded making it clear that he did not want to maintain that type of relationship with her.”
After Effie’s March press conference, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Hammer was under investigation for sexual assault in a case that was opened in February.
