The civil sexual assault lawsuit filed against actor Sebastian Chacon, known for his role as drummer Warren Rojas on the Amazon series Daisy Jones & the Six, has been officially closed in New York, a development that comes more than two years after the allegations first surfaced.
Chacon's case was discontinued "with prejudice" by the Supreme Court of the State of New York in December 2025, meaning the lawsuit can no longer be refiled. Attorneys for both Chacon and the plaintiffs signed a stipulation of discontinuance, ending the civil action that had been filed in November 2023 under the Adult Survivors Act.
In a statement released through his representative, Chacon described the ordeal as deeply difficult and emphasised that he never admitted to any wrongdoing. "This was a tremendously painful and costly experience that upended my life and my family's," he said.
"There was never any criminal case, I never admitted to any wrongdoing, and the matter is now permanently closed." He added that the legal process taught him how damaging civil litigation can be, and said, "My heart goes out to anyone navigating a situation like this. I'm focused on moving forward and rebuilding my life and work."
The lawsuit initially alleged sexual, emotional and physical abuse by multiple plaintiffs, including one claim involving an incident when a plaintiff was under age 18. At the time the suit was filed, Chacon lost representation with his talent agency and was removed from an upcoming film project.
Chacon first rose to prominence playing Warren Rojas on Daisy Jones & the Six, which tells the story of a fictional 1970s rock band and was adapted from Taylor Jenkins Reid's best?selling novel. His other credits include appearances on series such as Pose, Mr. Robot and Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.
With the lawsuit now closed, Chacon has expressed a desire to move past the controversy as he looks to rebuild both his personal life and professional career.
Chacon began his acting career in 2014, making his short film debut in Rolling as Stephen. He made his first appearance on television, playing Ken in the political drama series Madam Secretary in the episode "Higher Learning".
In 2017, Chacon made his feature film debut in the crime film Contents Under Pressure, where he played the lead role of Andre. On the same year, he made his television film debut in Crash & Burn as JR Lopez. In 2018, Chacon appeared as a Puzzlemania Clerk in a drama film Puzzle.
