Although this scandal didn't involve a "Real World" castmate, the production was still in the middle of some serious accusations. During production on the 2004 season, "Real World: San Diego," a friend of cast member Randy Barry was accused of raping a woman in the home where the show was filmed (per The LA Times). A 22-year-old woman reported she ended up there after being drugged at a nearby nightclub, where she met the accused attacker.
A cast member told police that they recalled seeing a woman naked in the bathroom while the alleged assailant walked out, bragging about the sexual encounter. Bunim-Murray Productions initially cooperated with authorities investigating the matter, but issues arose when they refused to let them search the bedrooms of the home used. It was unclear whether the attack happened in its entirety in the bathroom, but it was one of two in the home without a camera.
The San Diego County District Attorney's office went on to investigate the incident for approximately eight months. Upon the completion, they determined there was insufficient evidence to support a prosecution (per Reality TV World).
