Inspired by the #MeToo movement, Sera reported the rape to Vancouver cops in 2019. Because Canada had no statute of limitations on the rap cases, Vancouver PD asserted that it would take the claims seriously.
Responding to the rape allegation, Timothy’s lawyer denied everything. His camp accused Sera of trying to extort a settlement from “The Leverage” actor.
Per Sera’s The BuzzFeed News interview, Timothy & his lawyers offered her $135k to retract her claim. The Canadian model dismissed the deal as she was reportedly seeking $1.5 million in reparations.
