Suicide Squad's Joel Kinnaman is under investigation for rape by Swedish prosecutor - but star claims model ex accuser is 'extorting' him

Suicide Squad star Joel Kinnaman is under investigation in Sweden for the alleged rape of a model, it has been revealed.  

Swedish prosecutors announced Wednesday they had opened a criminal investigation after police received a complaint accusing an actor of rape.

Bella Davis, 28, claims Kinnaman, 41, raped her twice in a hotel room in New York back in 2018. 

Davis told DailyMail.com she is 'thankful' that Swedish authorities are taking her complaint seriously.   

Kinnaman denies the allegations, claiming the pair had a consensual fling and that he is the victim of an attempt by Davis to extort him for money and Hollywood connections.

A representative for the actor told DailyMail.com the star has also filed a police complaint against Davis in Sweden and that he 'will be cooperating with police to clear his name.'

The launch of the police investigation comes just days after Kinnaman was granted a restraining order against Davis in a Los Angeles court.

Virpi Alajarva, chamber prosecutor at the Public Prosecutor's Office in Skövde, released a statement Wednesday saying the rape investigation was in the 'early stages'.

'Further investigation is needed before it is possible to have an idea of ​​what may have happened,' the prosecutor said. 

'At the moment, the criminal classification is rape.' 

The prosecutor did not name Kinnaman but Swedish outlets Aftonbladet and Expressen identified him as the suspect.

A source familiar with the matter also told DailyMail.com the actor is now the subject of a criminal investigation. 

Davis told DailyMail.com she has handed recordings and photo evidence to police. 

She said Kinneman filed for a restraining order the same day that she refused to agree to sign a confidentiality agreement. 

'Now I leave it in the cops' hands,' she said. 'And I'm super happy and thankful they are taking my case seriously.' 

Davis said she had been in contact with the NYPD, LAPD and Swedish police over the incident. DailyMail.com has reached out to all authorities for comment. 

A spokesperson for Kinneman told DailyMail.com that Davis only went to the police with her complaint after she learned he had been granted the restraining order.

Under the temporary order, Davis is required to stay 100 yards away from Kinnaman and must not make any contact with him. 

'On Friday, Mr. Kinnaman's lawyers filed a police complaint in Sweden against Ms. Davis for extortion and filed and received a restraining order against her in Los Angeles,' the spokesperson said. 

'It appears that after learning of the restraining order, she filed her complaint. The court papers that Mr. Kinnaman filed stated, among other things, that Ms. Davis threatened to publicize false information about Mr. Kinnaman – including that he had sex with her against her will – unless he capitulated to her monetary and other demands, which included Hollywood introductions, a work visa sponsorship, a blue verification checkmark on Instagram, and more. Mr. Kinnaman will be cooperating with police to clear his name.' 

Kinnaman posted a lengthy statement on his Instagram Friday telling his fans he had filed for a temporary restraining order against Davis because she was 'threatening to physically harm me and my family and loved ones' and trying to extort him.   

'Earlier this morning, I filed for a restraining order against a woman who has been threatening to physically harm me and my family and loved ones, and attempting to extort money and other things of value from me,' he wrote. 

Kinneman listed Davis' alleged demands including a verified Instagram page and money for an apartment.

'While it is mortifying and scary to come forward about all of this, what feels worse is enduring the escalating daily threats of physical harm to me and my loved ones and threats to go to the press with fabricated, vile rumors unless I agree to a list of demands that includes money, Hollywood connections, helping to secure a work visa, a verified Instagram page, a Wikipedia page, a photo shoot with Sports Illustrated, an additional $400,000 USD for an apartment and more,' he wrote.  

The actor wrote that he had a brief 'romantic relationship' with Davis in 2018 and that they had consensual sex on two occasions in November and December of that year in New York.

After the second encounter, the actor said they did not spend the night together as he had to get up the following morning for work.

'The next day she texted me that she was bothered that I had not asked her to spend the night and that I did not check with her to make sure she made it home safely,' he wrote.

Kinnaman claimed Davis then tried to make contact with him in 2019 and 2020 asking him to meet up and sending him sexually explicit content.

He claimed he tried to cut her off because he was in a relationship at the time, which he said led to her threatening to accuse him of non-consensual sex.  

'Recently, Bella resorted to threatening to publicize false information about me — including that I had sex with her against her will — unless I capitulated to her demands,' he claimed. 

He concluded the long message by assuring fans he stands with victims of sexual assault but claiming this was not what occurred here. 

Kinnaman said: 'I want to be VERY clear so there is no misunderstanding: I stand by all victims of sexual assault. That is not what occurred here. This was consensual sex. And now it is an attempt to extort.

'More importantly — this is a threat to the safety of my family and loved ones, which will always be my top priority.'

Davis responded to his social media posts on her Instagram page, where she denied trying to extort the star and shared screenshots of messages - some of them in Swedish - said to be between her and Kinnaman. 

'joelkinnaman raped me twice (same night) and they try to silent me...' she wrote in a post Sunday. 

'Stand for what u did joel u even cried on phone begging me to not tell anyone last week!'

The model claimed the Hollywood star 'bagged for forgiveness' on Zoom before he then took out the restraining order after she refused to sign an NDA.    

Kinnaman announced he was engaged to his 26-year-old Swedish-Australian model fiancee Kelly Gale in early 2021. The couple were seen attending The Suicide Squad premiere in Los Angeles last week before the allegations were made public

In another post showing a photo of herself cropped next to a photo of Kinneman, she claims he sent her 'd**k pics'. 

'JOEL STOP BE OBSESSED WITH ME! It wasn't me that SENT D**K picks and videos while u had a wife was it?' she captioned the image. 

On Tuesday, she then claimed she had been contacted by another woman who told her Kinneman had 'abused her as well'.  

While the alleged rape took place in New York, Swedish law may mean the case can be prosecuted in the Nordic country.

Its criminal code states that someone can be convicted in a Swedish court, if the crime was committed outside of the country but by a Swedish citizen. 

Rape convictions have soared in Sweden since the country changed its legal definition of rape in 2018 to sex without consent. 

Now, prosecutors do not have to prove the use or threat of violence or coercion.

The couple were seen attending The Suicide Squad premiere in Los Angeles last week before the allegations were made public.
