Michael Pitt, known for roles in 'Boardwalk Empire' and 'Dawson's Creek,' faces multiple charges of sexual assault and domestic violence stemming from incidents with an ex-girlfriend between 2020 and 2021. Allegations include assault with a cinderblock and strangulation. Following his arrest, Pitt pleaded not guilty and was released on bail, with a court date set for June. His lawyer claims the accusations are baseless and part of a suspicious timeline. This is not his first legal trouble; Pitt had previous arrests for assault in 2022. Relevant domestic violence hotlines were provided in the article.
According to the New York Post and Variety, the 44-year-old has been accused of multiple assaults by an ex-girlfriend stemming from four incidents taking place between 2020 and 2021.
She alleges that Pitt sexually assaulted and attacked her with a cinderblock and a wooden plank at the actor's Bushwick home.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where somebody like Mr Pitt an accomplished professional who would never so much as contemplate these crimes can be arrested on the uncorroborated word of an unhinged individual.
Pitt was previously arrested in 2022 and was charged with assault and petty larceny after allegedly hitting a man and taking his phone.
