CBS has reopened its investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Matlock actor David Del Rio, who was fired from the show in October following an initial internal investigation.
According to TMZ, multiple sources close to Del Rio told the outlet that CBS is taking another look at the accusations. The investigation reportedly reopened before Thanksgiving, and more parties have been interviewed, including Del Rio himself and his attorney, Shawn Holley.
