Four more women accuse Robert Knepper of sexual misconduct

  • The Prison Break alum, whose most recently appeared on Twin Peaks and iZombie, has been hit with four more sexual misconduct allegations, spanning between 1983 and 2013. These allegations come weeks after stylist Susan Bertram accused him of sexual assault on the set of the 1992 film Gas Food Lodging. The four women described in detail their encounters with Knepper to The Hollywood Reporter, including one who said she was attacked by the actor and forced to perform oral sex on him when they worked on the movie King Kong in 2010. In response to the accusations, Knepper issued the following statement: "We have come to a time where hard-earned careers are being lost on the basis of accusations. I need to reiterate that these accusations against me are false. We have lost the presumption of innocence; we have lost "due process;" and we have lost the ability to review evidence — allowing the media to become both ‘judge and jury.’ Until I can sit down and have a dialogue with my accusers, managed not by the press but by an impartial mediator, I have nothing further to say on this matter. My wife, family and close friends, know me and my true nature and I am grateful for their love and support.”
