LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Los Angeles prosecutors said on Wednesday that their sex crimes team was reviewing a case against “Rocky” actor Sylvester Stallone.

 

Los Angeles District Attorney’s office spokesman Greg Risling did not give details but said the case was presented by police in the California beach city of Santa Monica.

 

Representatives for Stallone, 71, did not immediately return a call for comment on Wednesday.

 

In December, Stallone’s attorney Martin Singer said that a woman had “filed a police report alleging a rape that occurred 27 years ago.”

 

“My client categorically disputes the claim,” Singer said in a statement at the time.

 

Santa Monica police said in December they were investigating a complaint that was made in November 2017 of alleged sexual misconduct in the 1990s by the actor.

 

Stallone skyrocketed to fame in 1976 with his Oscar-winning boxing movie “Rocky” and went on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest action stars through the “Rambo” and “Rocky” film franchises.

 

California has a complex statute of limitations for criminal prosecutions of sexual abuse but offenses must generally be prosecuted within 10 years.

 

Hollywood has been roiled in the past eight months by accusations of sexual assault against dozens of actors, directors and filmmakers, leading to many major figures being forced to step down or dropped from creative projects.

 

Producer Harvey Weinstein was charged in New York with rape and sexual assault last month. He entered a not guilty plea.

 

Comedian Bill Cosby was convicted in April of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004.

Guilty or not is not for me to say at this time, but I do have one question.  Why did it take the woman 27 years to report it?

Not at all.  Not jumping on anything.  Just asking a legit question: Why did it take her 27 years to report it?

So Trump, with over a dozen allegations of sexual misconduct made against him, pardoned boxer Jack Johnson, whose first wife committed suicide following incidents of domestic violence and infidelity, at the request of Sylvester Stallone, who has had a rape allegation filed against him.  See a pattern?

Yes yes. All men guilty of ruthlessly abusing women until they're proven innocent by a court of PC liberal lesbian women.

Not so sure about that, having $440,000,000 in the bank seems to have been worth it to me...

One subject that hasn't been addressed yet is male genital mutilation.

Those who do such things, in the name of "culture" and "religion", call their perverted actions "circumcision".

How can a baby, or even a young boy, protect themselves from being "circumcised"?

The answer is that they can't. A male baby, in particular, is helpless.  

All children have the right to come into the world, and grow up, without their genitals being mutilated.

It is time to end circumcision, once and for all.

Not me for one!!! Yuk!  I would really have to be desperate!

An incident that occured 27 years ago ?...right !...And of course, it has nothing to do with money.

 

Jail the woman for attempted extorsion.

 

A man has a right to be very wealthy and not have to deal with such racket 27 years later.
