Los Angeles "cosmic artist" Jack Armstrong alleged sexual assault victim did not have date rape drugs or any other illegal/legal substances in her system, according to a Beverly Hills Police Department incident report obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com.
Armstong was formally charged with one count of rape in November 2013 after a lengthy investigation. He has pled not guilty.
The alleged rape took place in March 2010 after Armstrong struck up a conversation with the victim outside of a nightclub in Beverly Hills. According to prosecutors, they went into the club together and consumed several beers.
"Prosecutors allege that the next thing the victim remembers is waking up in a bed in a hotel room laying next to the defendant with her underpants and tights off. The victim was sore and nauseous. The defendant was naked,"according to a statement previously released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
But according to the incident report from the Beverly Hills Police Department, a "urine sample was collected during the examination at the rape center,” Detective Daniel Chilson wrote on 6/6/11.
"I called the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Scientific Services Bureau regarding the results from the testing of the victim's urine collected during the examination at the rape treatment center. A short time later, they were faxed to me. According to the results, the sample did not contain the metabolite for Rohypnol, GHB, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids , cocaine, opiates, PCP, Ketamine or Norketamine."
Cops had previously said that Armstrong may have drugged the alleged victim.
“He met the victim at a bar in West Hollywood,” Beverly Hills police Sgt. Max Subin previously told CBS 2 Los Angeles.
The attack could have been drug-induced, Subin added.
Armstrong is known for a style he calls “Cosmic Extensionalism.” One of his “canvases” was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, dubbed the “Cosmic Starship Harley-Davidson,” that he priced at $1.1 million and compared to Andy Warhol’s pop art Campbell’s soup cans.
