CNN (USA) reported that the Santa Monica Police Department (California) in November 2017 received a complaint accusing the male lead of the Rambo series of s*xual harassment.

Reuters news agency (UK) quoted information from local police as saying that the accuser confirmed that the rape happened 27 years ago. Additionally, the police did not release detailed information about this case.
On June 13, representatives of the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office began reviewing the complaint against muscular actor Sylvester Stallone.
Santa Monica police referred the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which investigates suspected s*xual assaults in the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, the actor’s lawyer, Mr. Martin Singer, emphasized that his client completely denies this allegation.
Attorney Singer affirmed that the woman who came forward to accuse in fact had a voluntary relationship with actor Stallone in the 1980s.
Last November, the press also loudly reported that a 16-year-old girl in 1986 reported to the police that actor Stallone forced her to have s*x with him and his bodyguard Mike De Luca. At that time, the girl decided not to file a complaint.

Over the past 8 months, Hollywood has been “rocked” by scandals related to s*xual assault. A typical case is that producer Harvey Weinstein had to go to court and was prosecuted for s*xually assaulting many actresses.
In April, comedian Bill Cosby was convicted of drugging and s*xually assaulting a woman in 2004.
