The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office is reviewing the case and has not yet filed charges.

Chigvintsev's attorney, Howard Weitzman, has denied the allegations.

In a statement, Weitzman said, "Mr. Chigvintsev is a loving and devoted father and husband. He is innocent of the charges against him."
