According to sources close to the investigation, the LA Police Department’s Sexual Assault Section but still needs to conduct some interviews and write reports.

Detectives were surprised that they were able to get statements from some of the accused individuals. Before some of them acquired criminal defense lawyers, their entertainment lawyers wrote statements denying the claims that were signed by their clients. One source said, “These [entertainment] lawyers cared more about image than jail. They should have never let their clients talk.”
