"Sex Assault Alleged at 'Real World' Home

SAN DIEGO (Nov. 25) - Police said Tuesday they are investigating a woman's allegations that she was raped in the oceanfront home where MTV is filming the latest season of its "Real World" reality program.



The 22-year-old woman, who is not a cast member of the television show, said she believes she was assaulted while unconscious by a man who is also not a "Real World" cast or crew member.

Police served a search warrant on the house on Nov. 18, seizing footage taped for the show along with bedding, towels and couch cushions.

Footage is recorded from 30 cameras mounted throughout the house in every area except the home's two bathrooms, according to an MTV producer. A "Real World" cast member told the alleged victim she may have been sexually assaulted in one of the bathrooms, according to court documents.

Neither the police nor production company Bunim-Murray Productions would comment on the content of the videotapes seized by police. The network and production company said they were cooperating fully.

Police had not made any arrests in the case Tuesday.

The woman told investigators she went to a downtown nightclub Nov. 14, where she met a man who was an acquaintance of one of the "Real World" cast members. The woman told police she consumed a drink offered by the man and then blacked out.

When she awoke the next morning, the woman said, she was fully clothed on a bed in a guest bedroom in the "Real World."

The woman had pain in her genital area, and a medical examination performed the next day revealed cuts, according to court documents.

Police said a person whose name was not released said he found the woman lying naked on the bathroom floor, dressed her and moved her to a living room couch. With the help of a female cast member, the person moved the alleged victim to the guest bedroom.

MTV has aired 13 seasons of "Real World," which documents the lives of seven strangers living together. "Real World San Diego" is still in production, according to MTV, and is scheduled to premiere in January.

here we go...

Damn! - This should be a clue that they are fucking up!
I used to watch the 'Real World' every season but the last couple of seasons I wouldn't bother,I remember when the cast members had a purpose, they were aspiring artist and students.
Now, since the Hawaii cast got so much recognition,they cast members that "look" the part and it has killed the show down to people just partying and being stupid- Hence, the behavior we see displayed in this article.

Damn typos!

Well it apparently was not a cast member involved and actually cast members who helped the girl.

I know- maybe I didn't state my point clearly, what I meant was that extreme partying seems to be the main theme in the "Real World" houses for the last couple of seasons and when you part excessivley terrible things are bound to happen but in the episodes where they give the cast members a purpose they are less likely to have fucked up shit happen like this. - My point was not to blame the cast members per say but to maybe improve the living situations and conditons. and I'm sorry I don't care what anyone says I think the show sucks now compared to older seasons.

They some lazy assed poeople too--they always are given jobs and they are lax with them..and they never clean the house or make their beds etc..fuckin filthy asses lol.

I know that's right! I'm glad someone felt me a little bit.

I only watched the first two seasons, although I
can't remember much about them except that I liked
them a lot and that there was a dog named "Gouda"
in there somewhere.

And fcuz, the best ever was the "Real World London"
with Neill; 'angry semi-intelligent punk sexgod'.

he was drool worthy. did u see him at the reunion? all growed up with a kid and conservative looking!

Is it me, or is this Paris season, Never ending?
whereas Boston seemed brief. I assume its what the editors have to work with.

This show was better when it was true documentary style and these people had their owns jobs and paid their own phone bill. I'm personally not a fan of seasons outside the United States. I wanted to kick Jacinda's ass in the London one and shake the shit out of Sharon. I refused to watch the Paris one

it's over. here i watched 2 full days of Real World Paris to freshen up, and then missed last night's finale

These people are STILL on the air???



Yeah, it's unfortunate, but those things happen in THE REAL WORLD.

no!



i want my M... t... v?

rdhull said:

Nope, not kidding. I liked all of them. Especially the one
that couldn't shut up and talked all day long. She was one
of the coolest castmembers of that show ever.

And hell yes, I was serious about Neill. He was a dish.
If I'd told you the kind of dreams I've had...but I
won't, cuz I'll get banned from the org forever

Damn, I missed that. Who did he have a kid with? With
that blond girl he used to date on the show? Or with
sad little mouse-faced Kat? Or someone else?

[note the slight hint of jealousy]
