SYLVESTER Stallone has denied reports that a 16-year-old fan accused him and a bodyguard of sexually assaulting her in Las Vegas in the 1980s.
The girl alleged the Rocky actor said he would “beat her head in” if she told anyone about the incident in a hotel room, according to a police report revealed by multiple publications.
She told police she was left “humiliated and ashamed” and said she did not want to press charges so the case was dropped, the reports state.
Michelle Bega, a spokeswoman for the 71-year-old actor, said on Thursday: “This is a ridiculous, categorically false story.
“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 any authorities or anyone else regarding this matter.”
The denial came after a report from the Mail Online, but Ms Bega declined to comment further when asked if Stallone was aware of the allegations when they were previously published by the Baltimore Post-Examiner in February last year.
The Mail Online said retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detective sergeant John Samolovitch confirmed the documents’ authenticity, but the force is yet to comment.
