CBS Reopens Investigation into David Del Rio’s Alleged Sex Assault on ‘Matlock’ Set

CBS has reopened its investigation into allegations of sexual assault against actor David Del Rio, as reported by Emegypt. This decision comes after claims made by Leah Lewis, a co-star on the set of “Matlock.”

CBS Reopens Investigation into Allegations Against David Del Rio

The initial complaint was made in October when Del Rio was accused of assaulting Lewis while on Paramount property. Following the allegations, Del Rio was immediately removed from the show.

Details of the Investigation

According to multiple sources, the investigation’s reopening occurred before Thanksgiving. The CBS studio has taken steps to interview several parties involved, including Del Rio himself and his attorney, Shawn Holley.

  • Del Rio’s character was a lead role on “Matlock.”
  • He was dismissed from the show on the same day the complaint was registered.
  • The series has resumed production following a scheduled hiatus.

Del Rio has consistently denied the allegations and is actively defending himself with the help of Holley. The investigation at CBS remains ongoing with no further comments provided by the studio regarding the legal proceedings.

This latest development underscores CBS’s commitment to thoroughly addressing allegations of misconduct. As the investigation continues, both the studio and the involved parties are taking the situation seriously.
