Report: John Jarratt denies sexual assault allegations

Wolf Creek star John Jarratt has denied allegations of sexual assault dating back to the 1970s, according to media reports.

“Police are investigating an allegation of a historical sexual assault on Sydney’s eastern beaches,” a police spokesman told The Daily Telegraph.

“The allegations were reported to police earlier this month and relate to a matter from the 1970s.”

A woman who worked in the industry made a statement to Shoalhaven police in NSW about a week ago, the article notes.

Jarratt’s ­management ­Ignite Elite Artists said in a statement, “John emphatically and completely denies the allegations of sexual assault.

“These allegations are completely unfounded and untrue.”

Season 2 of Wolf Creek is due to have its premiere screening in Sydney next Thursday, ahead of its return to Stan in December.

Season 1 is currently screening on Nine.
