The Ranbo star was alleged of sexually assaulting a woman, who was 16 when the incident took place.

LOS ANGELES (Daily Dunya/Web Desk) – Hollywood veteran star Sylvester Stallone has refuted claims of sexual assault leveled made by a woman against him.

The Ranbo star was alleged of sexually assaulting a woman, who was 16 when the incident took place during shooting of “Over the Top” in Las Vegas in the late 1980s.

Spokesperson Michelle Bega said: “This is a ridiculous, categorically false story. No one was ever aware of this story until it was published today (Wednesday), including Mr. Stallone. At no time was Mr. Stallone ever contacted by any authorities or anyone else regarding this matter.”

On the other hand, the woman said that Stallone allegedly threatened her and if she told anyone about it, “they would have to beat her head in”. As to why she did not pursue charges at the time, it was because she was “humiliated and ashamed”, as well as being “scared”, according to the police report.
