“The Boys” and “Preacher” star Malcolm Barrett is being accused of and investigated for sexual assault in Los Angeles. A woman reported the native 44-year-old New Yorker to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department last weekend, claiming Barrett sexually assaulted her during a night they spent drinking together, law enforcement sources told TMZ. The alleged victim says she and Barrett were enjoying a “pretty normal” night of drinks in L.A. before ultimately moving to Barrett’s place for more drinks. There, the woman claims she awoke to find the actor touching her before he ultimately had sex with her against her will, per the outlet. Insiders told TMZ the woman — who reportedly had a months-long friendship with Barrett — completed a sexual assault kit and the case is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau. It’s unclear exactly how long Barrett and his accuser had known each other or when specifically the alleged assault took place. At the time of publication, no arrests had been made in the case. The Daily News has reached out to LASD for comment. Barrett, who is also a stand-up comedian, producer and director, is known for his recurring role of Seth Reed on Amazon Prime’s Emmy-winning action series, “The Boys.” In addition to his role on “The Boys,” Barrett played F.J. Hoover on the supernatural AMC hit, “Preacher,” as well as Rufus Carlin on NBC’s “Timeless.” He previously starred as Lem Hewitt on the ABC sitcom “Better Off Ted.” A representative for Barrett did not immediately respond to The News’ request for comment.
