The Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement: “Each victim reported that Olds lulled them into a false sense of security during their initial encounters, then became violent without asking their consent.”

He was first reported to police in January 2023 by a 41-year-old woman who claimed the actor raped her in her Los Angeles home.
