Star denies rape claim

POLICE in Los Angeles announced they are investigating a rape allegation made against British Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick.

The LAPD said there was an “ongoing investigation” taking place, after actress Kristina Cohen accused him of rape Monday in a Facebook post.

“I do not know this woman. I have never forced myself in any manner, on any woman. I certainly have never committed rape,” Westwick, 30, wrote on Twitter. Cohen alleged Westwick raped her three years ago at his house.
