Arnold Schwarzenegger stands with his former co-star Eliza Dushku, who accused stunt coordinator Joel Kramer Saturday of sexually assaulting her when she was just 12 years old.
SEE ALSO:Eliza Dushku says she was 'sexually molested' at age 12 while working on 'True Lies'After Dushku shared her story of Kramer assaulting her while they worked on the film True Lies (Kramer was 36 at the time), another actor on the film, Tom Arnold, shared his support of Dushku's decision to speak out, saying he would have done something had he known what was going on. Schwarzenegger, the lead in True Lies, said he would have also done something, adding that he's proud of Dushku and her courage.

"I'm shocked and saddened for Eliza but I am also proud of her," Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter, "Beyond being a great talent and an amazing woman, she is so courageous."
Jamie Lee Curtis, who also starred in True Lies, wrote an essay for The Huffington Post in support of Dushku Monday, acknowledging that she first heard about the allegations years ago and saying adults need to take more responsibility for children on film sets.
"What allegedly happened to Eliza, away from the safety net of all of us and our purview is a terrible, terrible thing to learn about and have to reconcile," Curtis wrote. "The truth will set us all free. Hopefully that freedom will bring a new ability to call out abuse and, when that abuse occurs, to have swift and consistent action, so that no one again will have to wait 25 years for their truth to be heard."
After Dushku accused Kramer of assaulting her when she was 12, another stunt professional working on True Lies, Laura Albert, accused Kramer of exposing himself to her then-15-year-old sister and her 16-year-old friend. Albert also accused Kramer of having sex with the then-16-year-old, which is the legal age of consent in North Carolina where it occurred.
Kramer denied the allegations, saying that he and the 16-year-old only fooled around and when he found out how old she was, he told Deadlinehe was devastated, but not before saying he thought she was "pretty."
After learning about Kramer's response, Albert told Deadline: "He's a liar."
Dushku's legal guardian confirmed her accusations in a statement Monday, saying she reported Kramer's actions on set and was "met with blank stares and had the sense that I wasn't telling that person anything they didn't already know."
Kramer has since been dropped by Worldwide Production Agency.
