Four women in total accused the actor of sexual assault. First alleged victim Kristina Cohen claimed Westwick raped her in his apartment. "I was sexually assaulted three years ago," she alleged on Facebook. "It was a dark time in my life. Even now, I grapple with feelings of guilt. Unfounded worry that in some way I was to blame. I don't know where these feelings come from. Social conditioning that everything is always the woman's fault? That a man's inability to keep himself off of our bodies is somehow because of us, not him?"

Then Aurelie Wynn, a former actress, accused him of attacking her in 2014. "I said no and he pushed my face down and was powerless under his weight," she claimed of the incident that allegedly took place at a party. "I was wearing a one-piece bathing suit that he ripped, I was in complete shock, I am also very tiny. When it was over I got my cell phone and found that the girl that had invited me had left or got kicked out."
