An actress has accused one of America’s most prominent television writers of sexual assault in 2012 when she was 17-years-old.
Aurora Perrineau publicly came forward to accuse Murray Miller, best known for his work on the HBO dramedy ‘Girls,’ of rape stemming from an incident five years ago, according to The Wrap.
‘I filed a police report today,’ Perrineau told the online publication. ‘I cannot talk about the investigation that is happening currently.’
Miller vehemently denies the allegations, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Perrineau, 23, said that the two had met at the Standard Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles during a night out with friends.
Perrinea told The Wrap that she had ‘consumed some alcoholic beverages’ that evening, but added that she repeatedly told Miller that she was underage.
The 23-year-old ‘Passengers’ and ‘Equals’ said that Murray had asked for a ride home at the end of the evening, admitting that ‘he was drunk.’
Once she and her friends arrived at his house, she ‘felt like I had to go along with everyone else,’ according to her statement.
‘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,’ Perrineau’s statement added.

Sgt. Salvador Rios with the LA Sheriff’s Department confirmed that they received a complaint from Perrineau.
Although the report was filed at West Hollywood station, the LAPD will take the lead on the investigation, Rios added.
Through his attorney, Miller called the allegations categorically false, adding that he has proof of his innocence and will cooperate fully with any police investigation.
‘Mr. Miller categorically and vehemently denies Ms. Perrineau’s outrageous claims,’ attorney Don Walerstein said in a statement.
‘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.’
Miller also has acted in small roles in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and ‘The Five-Year Engagement.’
