Actor Armie Hammer will not be charged in the sexual assault case brought against him in 2021, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. The decision was made due to the "complexity of the relationship" between Hammer and the accuser, making it difficult to prove a non-consensual, forcible sexual encounter beyond a reasonable doubt. The accuser had accused Hammer of rape and abusive behavior during their four-year on-and-off relationship. Hammer has admitted to engaging in consensual BDSM activities but has denied non-consensual behavior. The case against Hammer has garnered significant attention and resulted in professional repercussions for the actor.
