Daisy Jones & The Six actor Sebastian Chacon has been accused of rape and sexual assault.
The 30-year-old ‘vehemently denies these allegations’ of assault which took place between 2017 and 2022, according to the New York filing.
As part of the lawsuit filed on November 22, three women, who remain anonymous, have made claims against Chacon, and claim they’ve attempted suicide or had suicidal thoughts, report People.
‘Jane Doe 1’ alleges she was 16 when she met a then 24-year-old Chacon on the TV show Crash and Burn. She claims Chacon groomed her over a few weeks.
According to the lawsuit, Chacon, who played drummer Warren Rojas in the popular Amazon series, encouraged the minor to have alcohol at a fundraising event.
Afterwards, she alleged that he distracted her from getting off the subway stop for her parent’s house by kissing her so she ended up at his apartment.
Jane Doe 1 claims she was ‘feeling uncomfortable as well as drowsy and disoriented from the alcohol’ as he performed oral sex before he ‘forcibly’ penetrated her without consent or contraception. She alleges it was her first time having sexual intercourse so she felt ‘excruciating pain’ and had ‘vaginal bleeding.’
She also claimed that he only stopped when she said ‘something to the effect of “Stop, it hurts,”‘ but did not console her.
Jane Doe 2 and Jane Doe 3 both claim they were in relationships with Chacon.
The former says that she fainted during sexual intercourse and lost consciousness – something she sought medical assistance for – but Chacon would carry on having sex with her.
She also claims he took ‘naked and unconscious’ photos without her consent, that he strangled her until she lost consciousness, and he engaged in anal sex despite her objections.
Jane Doe 3 claims he applied ‘great force’ around her neck until she could not breathe and woke up to him ‘moaning with pleasure.’ She also alleges he penetrated her anus without ‘warning, consent or lubrication.’
Aurore DeCarlo, the attorney for the three women, told People: ‘I just think it’s a huge testament to the strength and courage of these women that they found each other.
‘They realised that they had experienced that same pattern of abuse or a very similar pattern of abuse and they’ve banded together to hold this individual accountable.’
She added that they have a ‘hard road ahead of them.’
Chacon’s attorney, Jeff Chabrowe, said: ‘Mr. Chacon vehemently denies these allegations. Chacon and his close friends and family have been verbally abused, harassed, and threatened by the accusers.
‘Mr. Chacon refused to compromise his ethical beliefs; this lawsuit is purely a result of his refusal to be extorted.’
He concluded: ‘Mr. Chacon will fully cooperate with any investigation and provide any evidence necessary to prove his innocence. We have complete faith in our legal system and trust that the truth will ultimately prevail.’
