Back in October, David Del Rio was fired from Matlock because he allegedly sexually assaulted his Matlock co-star, Leah Lewis.
There was an investigation conducted as soon as Lewis reported the alleged September incident on the Paramount lot, resulting in his immediate dismissal.
Neither actor has addressed the allegations publicly, but he has denied the allegations.
But today, TMZ is reporting that CBS reopened the case and has heard from several witnesses, including Del Rio, whose high-powered attorney was by his side.
Matlock resumed filming last week after a planned hiatus, which began shortly after the incident.
There have been reports that his character was written off of the series. But CBS has not said if that episode has been filmed yet.
