Actor Sebastian Chacon, who became known for his role in the series Daisy Jones & the Six, has revealed that the sexual assault case filed against him has now been “closed.” The lawsuit initially surfaced a few months after the 2023 Prime Video show’s release, accusing Chacon of multiple crimes. However, the latest update on the case confirms that it has been dropped.
Sebastian Chacon says sexual assault case against him ‘is now permanently closed’
According to court documents reviewed by Deadline, the Supreme Court of the State of New York ruled that the lawsuit against Chacon had been closed and cannot be reopened in December 2025. The judgment comes after an April verdict. This saw the case dismissed without prejudice due to the three unnamed plaintiffs failing to make an appearance in court.
Ultimately, the attorneys for the plaintiffs and the defendant signed a stipulation of discontinuance, effectively ending the lawsuit.
“This was a tremendously painful and costly experience that upended my life and my family’s,” Chacon said after the December ruling in his sexual assault case. “There was never any criminal case, I never admitted to any wrongdoing, and the matter is now permanently closed. Living through this made me realize how damaging the civil process can be, and my heart goes out to anyone navigating a situation like this. I’m focused on moving forward and rebuilding my life and work.”
The sexual assault lawsuit against Sebastian Chacon came to light in November 2023. Three women reportedly filed a civil suit against the actor under the Adult Survivors Act. They accused Chacon of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. This resulted in Paradigm Talent Agency dropping Chacon from its clientele. Additionally, the 32-year-old actor also reportedly lost out on a part in a Crash Buist-helmed indie film titled Red Dirt.
