TMZ reported July 31 that Richards, 33, had been investigated for possible rape charges while filming after a woman claimed she had been handed an open beer at the cast house and later woke up naked in bed with him, and a camera in her face.
The woman reportedly went to a hospital the next day and a nurse concluded that there was evidence of a sexual assault, which launched an investigation and review of 20 hours of footage, as well as interviews with the cast and crew, cops determined the woman was conscious and partying along with everyone else-resulting in Richards being cleared of the accusations.
