Yahoo News Robert Knepper will stay on iZombie after investigation
Actor Robert Knepper is set to stay on The CW show iZombie, despite multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
The show's producer Warner Bros TV conducted an internal investigation into the star after at least five women claimed that he assaulted them years ago.
The producers have now said in a statement (via Deadline): "We were deeply concerned about recent allegations regarding Robert Knepper.
"As a result, we conducted an internal inquiry with some of the cast and crew of iZombie. We found no evidence of wrongdoing on the set of the show.
"We have taken and will continue to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and well-being of all involved, which is our top priority."
Knepper has been a part of iZombie since 2015, and none of the claims that have come to light in the last few weeks are in relation to the show.
The Prison Break and Twin Peaks star previously denied the allegations by the five women, which range over the course of 30 years.
"We have come to a time where hard-earned careers are being lost on the basis of accusations," Knepper said in a statement last week.
"I need to reiterate that these accusations against me are false.
"We have lost the presumption of innocence; we have lost 'due process'; and we have lost the ability to review evidence - allowing the media to become both 'judge and jury'.
"Until I can sit down and have a dialogue with my accusers, managed not by the press but by an impartial mediator, I have nothing further to say on this matter.
"My wife, family and close friends, know me and my true nature and I am grateful for their love and support."
