Michael Pitt's Sexual Assault Allegations and Court Updates
Actor Michael Pitt, renowned for his role in 'Boardwalk Empire', taken into custody in New York due to accusations of sexual misconduct.
Breaking news, kiddo! Actor Michael Pitt, famed for his roles in "Boardwalk Empire," "Dawson's Creek," and "Reptile," has been arrested on multiple charges of sexual abuse, strangulation, and sodomy in Brooklyn, New York.
This titbit comes from court documents obtained by our gossip hound's playground, Digital, and confirms Pitt's arrest on May 2 at Kings Supreme Criminal Court in Brooklyn. The 44-year-old actor is staring at two counts of sexual abuse in the first degree alongside charges of assault with a blunt object, sodomy in the third degree, and strangulation in the second degree. Guess he had a bad day at the Bushwick homestead, eh?
The allegations suggest that his ex-girlfriend, involved in the relationship between April 2020 and August 2021, was subject to Pitt's wrath. According to the New York Post, he allegedly attacked her with objects, including a wooden plank and a cinder block, at their shared abode. Shocking, ain't it, third-degree sodomy?
Following the arrest, Pitt pleaded not guilty to all charges and posted bail, securing his release from custody. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 17.
Now, when it comes to attorney Jason Goldman—Mr. Pitt's legal shark—he has a fine statement up his sleeve. Goldman claims this "baseless" charge comes from "an unhinged individual" and doubts it has any merit. He believes the case will be dismissed because, supposedly, the allegations were raised several years after the alleged incident, during a time when the two were "consensually involved."
