Yeah, he was the detective that tried to get close to her after his partner died. They had many scenes together.

They both worked on Banshee too. I don't remember if they had any scenes together, but their time on the show overlapped.

I'm actually more interested in the business with the Hair Department and how that turned into a sexual assault...

Something is off in her story, but maybe I don’t understand how Hollywood works. Are actors considered employees of the studio, or temporary employees like a 1099?
She noted she told the EP, but then the EP didn’t inform HR as promised.
If I have a large enough problem at work, I may inform my immediate boss, but I would sure as heck inform HR myself and copy my boss so there’s a paper trail!
She even mentioned having meetings with a Union rep, who’d Id think would ensure HR is involved, an agreement is in place, and documented.

The studio that produces The Rookie EOne concluded their investigation and determined there was no unlawful or inappropriate behavior.
Maybe her story didn't match up with other accounts from other actors on the show. There are 3 other lead female actors on the show and maybe they didn't corroborate her account.

Here is eOne’s full statement:
We are today addressing the findings of the investigation initiated as a result of the claims made by actor Afton Williamson regarding our series The Rookie. The investigation was commissioned via law firm Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP who engaged third-party firm EXTTI, recognized for their extensive expertise in investigating allegations of harassment, discrimination and retaliation in the workplace.
We take all allegations of inappropriate conduct very seriously, particularly when the allegations involve discrimination or sexual harassment of any nature. We appreciate the cooperation of all those who were interviewed, including Ms. Williamson, the individuals she identified by name, and several other relevant production and staff members.
The investigation encompassed nearly 400 hours of interviews and review of evidence, involving a significant amount of material, including video, that was provided to and examined by the investigator. As a result of the independent investigation, we have concluded that those identified in Ms. Williamson’s allegations did not conduct themselves in an unlawful manner or demonstrate behavior inappropriate for the workplace. It was also concluded that the executive producers, including showrunner Alexi Hawley, addressed matters of which they were made aware promptly and in a fair and reasonable manner.
We recognize and respect that as individuals, the lens through which we view situations, interactions and comments, can differ based on our experiences and perspectives. As such, we regret that Ms. Williamson’s time on the series was not a positive one for her, and we respect her decision to move on to other projects.
We continue to focus on fostering a safe and respectful work environment for all our corporate and production employees and further reinforce our policies and procedures. To protect the privacy of all those interviewed, the investigator’s report will not be available publicly.
