London (CNN) Former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson met Julian Assange at Belmarsh high-security prison on Tuesday, in his first social visit since he was hauled out of London's Ecuadorian embassy and arrested in April.

"He does not deserve to be in a super max prison. He has never committed a violent act, he's an innocent person," Anderson said in a statement outside the jail afterwards.

She said the WikiLeaks founder has been "cut off from everybody," including his children, and does not have access to any information.

"He's a good man, he's an incredible person, I love him and I can't imagine what he's been going through," Anderson said, who visited Assange several times during his near seven-year stint inside the embassy, creating speculation about their relationship.
