The Social Network actor was accused of rape and physical abuse.
after Los Angeles' District Attorney dropped sexual assault charges against the actor.
"I look forward to beginning what will be a long, difficult process of putting my life back together now that my name is cleared." The D.A.’s office said it could not prove rape allegations beyond a reasonable doubt, in part due to the “complexity of the relationship” between Hammer and the accuser, previously identified as someone named Effie when she first made the accusations on Instagram.Effie reported the father-of-two to the police in February 2021, accusing him of being physically abusive during an on-and-off relationship that spanned four years. She also alleged he had violently raped her in 2017.
"As prosecutors, we have an ethical responsibility to only charge cases that we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt… Due to the complexity of the relationship and inability to prove a non-consensual, forcible sexual encounter we are unable to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
