Armie Hammer is currently under police investigation for alleged sexual assault, according to a source. LAPD police started an investigation to look into the allegations on February 3rd, and Hammer is the prime suspect. The exposé comes hours after Hammer’s accuser held a tearful press conference with lawyer Gloria Alred.

Effie, the 24-year-old that started sharing
allegations against Hammer, formally accusing the actor of rape and “other
violent crimes” during the Thursday, March 18th press conference.
The accuser, Effie, appeared on camera and said that
Hammer violently attacked her on April 24th, 2017. Effie tearfully
accused stating, “Armie Hammer violently raped me for over four hours.” She
further added, “During which he repeatedly slapped my head against a wall,
bruising my face.”
Armie Hammer who was married at the time that Effie
accused the incident took place, is in the middle of a divorce from Elizabeth Chambers
and says that any sexual encounters that occurred outside of his marriage were “completely
consensual.” Though, Effie specifically said that wasn’t the case during the
alleged rape. “He also committed other acts of violence against me, to which I
did not consent.”
Meanwhile, Effie (not her legal name) said she and Hammer allegedly had an on-and-off four-year relationship while Hammer was still married to Chambers.
He beat my feet with a crop so they would hurt with every step I took for the next week. During those four hours, I tried to get away but he wouldn’t let me. I thought that he was going to kill me. He then left me with no concern for my well-being.

Effie said that the trauma of the alleged violent attacks did not end on that day in 2017. “During and since the attack, I have lived in fear of him and for a long time I tried to dismiss his actions towards me as a twisted form of love,” she said.
Now that he no longer has any power over me, I have come to understand that the immense mental hold he held over me was incredibly damaging on many levels.
