Reacher star Alan Ritchson claimed that he was sexually assaulted while he worked in the modeling industry.
The 41-year-old actor said the incident happened while he was ‘one of the highest paid models at the agency and sent on a gig with a ‘very famous photographer’ in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
‘I was sent into a hotel room to do nudes with the promise that if I did the shoot, he would offer me a very lucrative campaign for a magazine and a clothing line,’ he explained. ‘I was sexually assaulted by this guy.’
Ritchson did not name the photographer.
‘Let’s be honest, it’s like legalized sex trafficking, he continued. ‘The industry is not regulated, and it’s a widely known secret that if you’re hired on a job, you’re basically being passed off to a photographer to be trafficked
