Actor Sylvester Stallone's representative has responded to the allegations of sexual assault from a 1986 incident involving a minor, saying the story is ridiculous and false.
"This is a ridiculous, categorically false story," said the actor's representative. "No one was ever aware of this story until it was published today, including Mr. Stallone. At no time was Mr. Stallone ever contacted by authorities or anyone else regarding this matter."
According to the alleged victim, who refused to be identified, Stallone and his bodyguard at the time, Mike De Luca, had inappropriate sexual contact with her in 1986. The actor was 40 years old then, while the victim was only 16 years old.
The actor was shooting the film "Over the Top" in Las Vegas when the incident happened at the Hilton hotel where he was staying. The victim was also staying at the time with family friends at the same hotel.
According to the story, after the victim met the "Rocky" star, she tried to see him again to get his autograph for a friend. Stallone's bodyguard allegedly gave the victim keys to the actor's hotel room. The victim met the two at the hallway of the hotel and entered the room together.
The victim claims that she was forced by both Stallone and De Luca to have sex with them at the same time. After it was over, Stallone allegedly threatened her.
There was a July 1986 police report in Las Vegas detailing the incident. The report noted that the girl was crying and sobbing when she recounted the story. She said that she originally consented on having intercourse with Stallone, but she had not consented to do so with De Luca. However, when she was asked if she wanted to press charges, she declined. The victim said that she was too humiliated and ashamed to do so.
