All criminal charges have been dropped against the Hollywood actor Timothy Hutton. He had been accused of rape in 1983 by Canadian ex-model and former child actor Sera Johnston when she was 14 years old.&nbsp;

Now, according to the new ruling, Joshua Rosenberg, Hutton’s U.S. lawyer with Kinsella Weitzman said, “Timothy Hutton has officially been cleared by law enforcement of a criminal complaint filed against him. The Canadian authorities scrutinized the matter and found a glaring lack of support and proof of Ms. Johnston’s claim.”

Timothy Hutton’s legal counsel was informed of the lead prosecutor’s decision on July 7 and told that the case was now considered closed.&nbsp;

Sera Johnston filed a criminal complaint with the Vancouver police in late 2019 about the alleged incident that took place while Hutton was shooting the 1984 film Iceman, directed by Fred Schepisi, in Vancouver. Johnston claimed she met the actor while with three friends, and that they were invited back to Hutton’s Vancouver hotel, where they were served drinks. Then, Johnston claimed, Hutton raped her while a friend watched.

Hollywood actor Timothy Hutton to face 'no charge' for 1983 rape allegation

Oscar-winning actor Timothy Hutton has strongly denied the accusation of raping a teenager in 1983. 
 
In a statement released by Hutton after BuzzFeed published the story on Monday, the star said: "For the past two-and-a-half years, I have been the target of multiple extortion attempts by a woman named Sera Dale Johnston to extract millions of dollars from me". 
 
"She threatened that if I did not meet her demands, she would go to the press with a false allegation that I sexually assaulted her 37 years ago in Canada. I never assaulted Ms Johnston," the 'Almost Family' actor continued. 
 
''What's really going on here is that Ms Johnston's extortion attempts failed. She then decided to follow through on her threat to go to the press with her false story. When I became aware of this, I went to the FBI, signed a sworn statement, and filed a criminal complaint against Ms Johnston for extortion. I will not stop fighting to expose this story for what it is -- a failed extortion attempt based on something that never happened." Hutton concluded. 
 
According to news agency, in an interview with BuzzFeed News, Sera Dale Johnston alleged that in 1983, Timothy raped her when she was a junior high school student, in a Vancouver hotel room while another man looked on and participated.

Hutton was staying in town to shoot the film 'Iceman' and he and two of his friends began a conversation with Johnston and two of her classmates. He then invited them back to his hotel to hang out, according to the report.
