Kaplanyan's mother and sister said he is innocent when KTLA spoke to them at their home while the polo player stayed inside.

His mother Marine Kaplanayan said: 'It’s so easy for them to just accuse a person without like telling the truth.

'My son is innocent, I can tell you that and we’re going to prove that, because he’s not one of those guys.'
