movie star accused of rape

Revealed to the general public thanks to his role as Buzz McCallister, the big brother of the hero, Kevin, in the cult film Mom I missed the plane, Devin Ratray is today at the heart of a dark scandal. The 45-year-old actor is actually accused of rape by a young woman named Lisa Smith. According to information from CNN, the facts go back to 2017. At the time, the victim had already spoken to the police so that an investigation could be carried out. In vain, the prosecutors had decided to drop the case. She said to herself “devastated“that the authorities did not appear to take his accusations seriously and now wish that this case comes out of silence.

At the time of the facts, Lisa Smith and Devin Ratray had known each other for fifteen years, according to the young woman. On September 21, 2017, she checked into the actor’s hotel room in Manhattan, New York City, with her brother and a friend. She remembered having drank a drink offered by his hostbefore being taken from a great fatigue. He would then have encouraged her to stay sleeping on the sofa. “I remember that II woke up and I do not couldn’t move”she told CNN. “I couldn’t open my eyes, but I could hear what was happening and I could feel what he was doing. I knew the other two people had left and I was still on the couch.” The victim accuses the actor of having drugged and then raped her. He, for his part, denies the facts and remains presumed innocent until the final judgment.
