According to the woman's account, she and Barrett, who had been friends for months, spent the evening together in Los Angeles.

The woman’s accusations came after the night of drinking at Barrett’s home, which she described as initially casual before the alleged assault occurred.

As of now, representatives for Barrett have yet to respond to inquiries about the situation. The investigation is still in its early stages, and further details will emerge as authorities continue their work. This case adds to the growing list of sexual assault allegations in Hollywood, as the industry grapples with serious accusations against high-profile figures.
