American writer and filmmaker A.M. Lukas has accused “White Lines” actor Nuno Lopes of drugging and raping her in 2006, in a filing lodged just days before a one-year window to sue over historic sexual abuse expires.
Lopes denied any wrongdoing and said he would not be afraid to take legal action against anyone who tried to defame him.
“I would never drug anyone and I would never take advantage of a woman who was incapacitated, whether due to excessive alcohol or the influence of any other substances,” he said in a statement on Tuesday. “Neither today nor 17 years ago.”
