According to TMZ, a woman filed a report with the Las Vegas Police Department, claiming the Oscar-winning actor struck her in the face with his penis after she refused to perform oral sex on him at a party he was hosting in 2002.

She told TMZ she was asked to leave the party, and went to a Los Angeles hospital the next day for treatment for a panic attack she suffered after alleged incident.
