For the second time this year, Vladimir Putin’s favorite action star has evaded a sex crimes probe by the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
Jackie Lacey’s office today revealed that they have “declined” possible charges against Steven Seagal for an alleged 2002 sexual assault due to the statute of limitations having expired.
“The reporting party alleged that on or between May 1, 2002 and August 31, 2002, she was sexually assaulted by the suspect (redacted),” says the December 20 dated charge evaluation worksheet on the Above The Law actor from the D.A.’s office. “The case was previously declined for further investigation,” the one page document adds. The results of the subsequent investigation did not yield evidence sufficient to meet the requirements of P.C. 803(f). Therefore, the case is declined due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.”

It’s been exactly one year since the first wave of allegations against Harvey Weinstein were published, ushering in an era that has seen countless other men accused of sexual misconduct. Many of them have been fired, exiled, or ostracized as a result, but one figure whose career seems to have been relatively unaffected by the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements is Steven Seagal. That may be at least in part because he’s already considerably less prominent than he was in his heyday, but the fact remains that the actor has been accused of sexual harassment and rape by several women.
After being asked about those allegations during a BBC Newsnight interview with Kristy Wark, Seagal promptly exited.
“You obviously spend a lot of time in Russia, you spend a lot of time in America, you’re making films and so forth. In terms of your life in America,...

Steven Seagal walked out of his live interview with the BBC on Thursday after being questioned about the sexual misconduct allegations against him. After journalist Kirsty Wark asked the actor how he deals with the accusations, Seagal ripped off his earpiece and microphone and stormed off. She then checked to see if the Above the Law actor was still there before turning her attention back to the viewers. "Steven Seagal, there. "And, of course, though he didn't respond there, he has said previously he denies any allegations that have been made against him."

Steven Seagal walked out of an interview on BBC’s Newsnight today when host Kirsty Wark brought up allegations of sexual misconduct.
Wark asked Seagal about the #MeToo movement. “You’ve been very much caught up in all the allegations of sexual harassment, you had a rape allegation against you and I wonder how you deal with all that?”
Seagal immediately removed his earpiece, stood up, and walked out of the interview.
In March of this year, two women who previously accused Steven Seagal of rape and sexual assault stepped forward to offer more detailed accounts of the actor’s alleged misconduct. Former Dutch model Faviola Dadis and one-time aspiring actress Regina Simons made the claims.
Actresses Juliana Margulies, Portia de Rossi and Pamela Anderson also have complained about Seagal’s alleged conduct during auditions.

Steven Seagal walked out of a televised BBC interview Thursday after being asked about a flurry of sexual misconduct accusations leveled against him in recent months.
The BBC interview was cut short after the British network’s host Kirsty Wark asked Seagal: “In terms of your life in America, you’ve been very much caught up in allegations of sexual harassment. You had a rape allegation against you and I wonder how you deal with all that.”
Before she could even finish her question, Seagal pulled his earpiece out, stood up and left the set. An offscreen technician can be heard offering to help “take the microphone off you.”

Former Dutch model Faviola Dadis, who earlier this year accused actor Steven Seagal sexually assaulting her during a 2002 audition, said she regrets having done any press on her accusations after a local Dutch TV network, Rtl, doubted her account on live TV.
Dadis said she was blindsided by the interviewer, a Dutch TV celebrity presenter for an entertainment magazine program Olcay Gulsen, who according to Dadis remarked during the broadcast that her accusations against the actor lacked credibility.
“She was just basically bashing me and my character and saying that she didn’t believe anything I said,” Dadis told TheWrap. Davis said the show’s producer later apologized for the host’s remarks. In a text message to Dadis, provided to TheWrap, the producer wrote: “I’m so sorry it turned out this way. I was looking at the show and I couldn’t believe it either!”

A sexual assault case involving “Under Siege” star Steven Seagal is currently under review with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, a representative for the Da told TheWrap on Thursday.
The case came under the district attorney’s office review after being presented to the Da by the Los Angeles Police Department on Wednesday.
This now makes two cases involving Seagal that the district attorney’s office is reviewing. In February, the district attorney’s office said that it was reviewing a case that was presented by the Beverly Hills Police Department on Jan. 31.

He’s been “Under Seige” and “Above The Law,” not to mention “Hard To Kill” and “Out For A Kill.” But now Steven Seagal has been named by Russia’s Foreign Ministry for a different purpose – he’s now a special representative for Russian-u.S. humanitarian ties, a role designed to deepen cultural, art and youth ties between the two countries.
Russian President Vladimir Putin presented a Russian passport to the Us actor in 2016, and now Seagal will expand his ties, serving as a goodwill ambassador. He will receive no salary, the Ministry said, adding, “It’s a case of people’s diplomacy intersecting with traditional diplomacy.”
Seagal’s new role was noted by Kremlin-backed TV station Rt, who noted Seagal as welcoming the appointment.
