Charlie Sheen investigated by LA police over allegations of beating up porn star ex-fiancé

The Wall Street actor was listed as a suspect on 31 March

Charlie Sheen is being investigated by Los Angeles Police over claims of abuse from his ex-fiancée.

Scottine Ross — an adult film actress who works under the alias Brett Rossi — filed a report against the controversial actor last week for alleged “domestic violence, physical assaults, and death threats,” according to police documents delivered to the US gossip site, RadarOnline, by LAPD.

Radar said Police issued a search warrant to the tabloid site for an audio recording they reported on that allegedly features Sheen threatening to have Ms Ross killed for $20,000 (£14,163).

A spokesperson for LAPD could not confirm to The Independent the issuance of such a warrant for the alleged tape, but disclosed that the investigation of Sheen is being conducted by the department’s Threat Management Unit. They added that the unit "completed an investigative report" that listed Sheen as a suspect on 31 March.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ms Ross filed a lawsuit against Sheen in December, alleging assault, battery, and negligence. The Wall Street actor filed for dismissal of Ms Ross’ complaint.

Ms Ross expressed her fear of Sheen in a December interview with People magazine.

“I’m scared he wants to kill me,” she said.

Sheen had revealed he was HIV-positive one month prior to the lawsuit.

Legal representatives for Sheen did not immediately respond to request for comment.
