Reacher star Alan Ritchson claimed he was sexually assaulted while working in the modeling industry.

The 41-year-old actor said the incident happened while he was “one of the highest paid models at the agency and was sent to a gig with a ‘very famous photographer’ in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

β€œI was sent to a hotel room to take nude photos with the promise that if I did the shoot, he would offer me a very lucrative campaign for a magazine and a clothing line,” he explained. “I was sexually assaulted by this man.”

Ritchson did not name the photographer.
