After the shocking news released that Kristina Cohen has filed a police report at the LAPD’s Hollywood precinct following claims that she was raped by Ed Westwick in his home three years ago. The move comes just hours after Westwick responded on Instagram to Cohen’s claims of rape, posting a statement that read,
“I do not know this woman. I have never forced myself in any manner, on any woman. I certainly have never committed rape.”
Westwick was responding to Cohen’s allegations that she posted on Facebook on Monday, a detailed account in which she says he assaulted her in his home three years ago in February 2014. Cohen confirmed the story to The Hollywood Reporter Monday evening during a telephone interview.
TRIGGER WARNING – EXPLICIT
The incident allegedly occurred at Westwick’s home in the Hollywood Hills where Cohen was invited by a producer named Kaine Harling, a man Cohen had briefly dated in 2013. Written in her post, Cohen alleges she was,
“woken up abruptly by Ed on top of me, his fingers entering my body. I told him to stop, but he was strong. I fought him off as hard as I could but he grabbed my face in his hands, shaking me, telling me he wanted to fuck me. I was paralyzed, terrified. I couldn’t speak, I could no longer move. He held me down and raped me.”
Her sister, Catalina Colgate, and close friend, Blaise Godbe Lipman, separately corroborated that they were told of Cohen’s account three years ago when the sexual assault was to have originally taken place.
