According to James’ lawyers, Scott Leemon and Leonard Levine, an independent investigation into the allegations is underway. They stated there were no injuries and expressed hope that the City Attorney’s Office will decline to file formal charges.
Reports indicate the police were called by a neighbor, not Ally, during the incident on December 10 at James’ Los Angeles home. Ally was reportedly not the alleged victim and was seen with James at an event earlier that day. Sources confirm the couple is still together and doing fine.
James, 32, was released on a $20,000 bond and has remained silent since the incident.
