"Girls" creator Lena Dunham and her co-producer and writer Jenni Konner have defended a writer from the HBO show who was accused of raping a 17-year-old actress. He was 35 at the time of the alleged assault.*
The allegations against writer Murray Miller, now 40, were reported Friday by The Wrap (https://www.thewrap.com/girls-murray-miller-aurora-perrineau-harold-perrineau-lost-oz/). Actress Aurora Perrineau, currently 23, filed a police report earlier this year claiming he raped her in 2012 after a drunken night out. Dunham and Konner sent a statement late Friday to The Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/girls-writer-murray-miller-accused-sexually-assaulting-actress-aurora-perrineau-1059660?utm_source=Direct), essentially calling Perrineau a liar.*
"While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year," they wrote. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (https://www.nsvrc.org/publications/articles/false-reports-moving-beyond-issue-successfully-investigate-and-prosecute-non-s), the rate of false reporting for sexual assault ranges from 2 percent to 8 percent.
