Executive Producer On Lena Dunham’s ‘Girls’ Accused Of Raping 17-Year-Old Girl

   DailyWire.com

A 22-year-old actress has accused a writer and executive producer on Lena Dunham’s show “Girls” of raping her when she was 17 years old.

According to The Wrap, on Friday actress Aurora Perrineau filed a report with the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station charging Murray Miller, who also produced the Fox animated shows “King of the Hill” and “American Dad,” with raping her in 2012.

Perrineau, the daughter of actor Harold Perrineau from “Lost,” took a polygraph test in September, according to The Wrap, which obtained the results of that test. In Perrineau’s statement, she attested that she and two of her friends were at the Standard Hotel in 2012 when they allegedly met Miller, who was then 35 years old. She said she had consumed some liquor, adding, “He was flirting with me. I told him repeatedly that I was 17 years old.”

Perrineau alleged that Miller was drunk and asked for a ride home from one of her friends. When the group reached Miller’s home, she said, the others exited the vehicle, but she didn’t want to, only acquiescing because she felt she “had to go along with everyone else. At some point, I woke up in Murray’s bed naked. He was on top of me having sexual intercourse with me. At no time did I consent to any sexual contact with Murray.”

Matthew Walerstein, Miller’s lawyer, released this statement to The Wrap:

After being contacted several weeks ago by lawyers who–on Ms. Perrineau’s behalf–sought substantial monetary damages from him, Mr. Miller’s legal team gathered overwhelming evidence directly contradicting these false and offensive claims. Only after her demands for money were rebuffed did Ms. Perrineau go to the police. Mr. Miller looks forward to sharing all evidence and information with any and all authorities seeking the truth in this matter.

Perrineau’s mother Brittany stated, “At no time have we ever asked Murray Miller for $1. There was never a demand for money ever made from anyone on behalf of Aurora or our family.”

In 2016, Miller told Vulture, “The first ten years I spent writing for TV, I followed a typical two- or three-act structure. It was remarkable to get on Girls and remember, ‘Oh, there are no rules for writing.’ Just like there’s no rules for life. Other than laws.”
