The NYPD is reportedly investigating actor Devin Ratray — who played the older brother Buzz in the 'Home Alone' films — for a rape that allegedly occurred in 2017.
An NYPD detective flew out to Utah to interview Smith about the incident in Nov. 2017; however, Smith says the detective’s report incorrectly claimed that she did not want to file charges. Despite the detective’s belief that she did not want to prosecute, after the detective’s report, Smith still flew to New York for an interview with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
After a year of not hearing from the authorities, Smith rediscovered the clothes she was wearing the night of the alleged assault and sent them to the NYPD detective in case there was DNA evidence on the outfit; she did not hear from the NYPD detective again after that. “Why would I have met with the D.A. in the first place, years ago, if I wasn’t willing to press charges?” Smith told CNN. “This was all very upsetting to me.”, “The NYPD takes sexual assault and rape cases extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so we can perform a comprehensive investigation, and offer support and services to survivors.” The NYPD did not comment on the Ratray investigation and Smith’s claims specifically.
Smith added that in May, she met with a prosecutor from the Sex Crimes Unit at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office who apologized over how her accusation was handled.
