Aurora Perrineau Lena Dunham/Assault
Perrineau filed a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in November 2017. In the report, she accused scriptwriter Murray Miller of sexual assault in 2012 when she was 17 and he was 35, allegations he has denied. Miller’s lawyers lied that Perrineau had demanded money, but publicly retracted their false and defamatory statement.
Lena Dunham, the creator, writer, and actress of the show Girls, initially defended Miller, who was a writer on the series, but she later withdrew her support. She also apologized and said that Miller had changed his story several times.
Following an investigation, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office decided not to press charges against Miller on August 10, 2018, because the statute of limitations for prosecution of statutory rape had passed, unresolved inconsistencies in the case, and the delay in reporting the incident.
