‘Blue Bloods’ and ‘Supernatural’ Executive Producer Charged With Sexual Assault

Laurence Andries, a TV writing veteran whose credits include Supernatural, Blue Bloods and How to Get Away with Murder — serving as executive producer on all three — is facing sexual assault charges after a man came forward to accuse Andries of drugging and raping him.

Andries, 66, faces six felony counts, including sodomy on a victim prevented from resisting by a controlled substance, oral copulation of an intoxicated victim and penetration of an intoxicated person, reported the Los Angeles Times.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the charges.

Andries — known in the industry as Larry — was arrested by Los Angeles police in August and is currently free on a $150,000 bond. He pled not guilty in August and is awaiting a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 17. Andries could not be reached for comment.

The accuser, a military veteran who goes by John Doe in court papers, recently told ABC 7 that he met Andries in a writers program. The man — whose face is obscured and voice changed — says Andries befriended him and took on a mentor role. He says he repeatedly told Andries that he was heterosexual.

In June 2022, Andries took him out for drinks and “drugged one of my drinks, took me to his place and then … I can’t say the word. I’m sorry, I can’t say it.” 

The man reported the suspected assault to LAPD at the time. He hopes other victims will come forward, telling them, “You still have a voice. He did not take that away from you.”

In a March 11 interview, the man told KTLA the District Attorney’s Office is considering a three-year plea deal for the case — a sentence he does not feel is nearly long enough. “My entire life is damaged because of this,” he says.

Andries’ career spans three decades. He has served as vice president of programming for the Writers Guild Foundation and frequented podcasts and other seminars in which he doled out advice to aspiring writers.

“Some of the best career advice I ever heard came from Larry Andries, an incredible writer/producer/human,” one attendee wrote on Twitter in 2019. “He said, ‘Don’t be an asshole.'”

Anyone with information regarding Andries is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Bureau Special Crimes Unit at 213-473-0447.
