Laurence Andries, a TV writing veteran whose credits include Supernatural, Blue Bloods and How to Get Away with Murder — serving as executive producer on all three — is facing sexual assault charges after a man came forward to accuse Andries of drugging and raping him.
Andries, 66, faces six felony counts, including sodomy on a victim prevented from resisting by a controlled substance, oral copulation of an intoxicated victim and penetration of an intoxicated person, reported the Los Angeles Times.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the charges.
