The actor was facing a lawsuit from a woman, identified as Effie, who claims that the protagonist of ‘Call Me By Your Name’ raped her in 2017 for four hours and that he committed other “violent acts” without her consentduring an intermittent extramarital affair that he had with her.
The prosecution indicated that it has not been able to prove the accusations against Hammer, “due to the complexity of the relationship and the inability to prove a non-consensual and forced sexual encounter.”
In 2021, alleged private messages between Hammer and several of his ex-partners were leaked on social networks in which they they detailed disturbing sexual fantasies, such as mutilation and cannibalism, displayed by the women.
