Michael Pitt, actor known for ‘Boardwalk Empire,’ arrested on sexual abuse charges

BBG News

Actor Michael Pitt, recognized for his roles in “Boardwalk Empire” and “Dawson’s Creek,” is currently facing accusations of sexual abuse, assault, and choking, as stated in a recent grand jury indictment filed in New York. It is alleged that these actions were committed against his ex-girlfriend.

44-year-old Pitt was taken into custody in Brooklyn last Friday over an indictment. This information has been verified by The Times. He faces nine criminal charges, which include two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, two counts of second-degree assault, and one count of second-degree strangulation. The arrest and the indictment are linked to a series of incidents that transpired from April 2020 to August 2021. On Friday, Pitt pleaded not guilty to these charges and posted bail in the amount of $100,000. His next court appearance is set for June 17 in Brooklyn.

Regrettably, in today’s world, a person like Mr. Pitt – a highly esteemed professional who would never even consider such acts – can be charged based on the unsubstantiated claims of an unreliable source.

It’s almost certain that the 55-year-old Combs will receive a sentence similar to life imprisonment, given his convictions on all charges.

To put it plainly, this accusation, lacking any solid foundation, emerged about four to five years after the event in question. At that point, both parties were engaged in a mutually agreed relationship. We’ve found proof clearing them, and we anticipate the case will be dropped.

Pitt was also indicted on two counts for criminal sex acts and two counts of attempted assault.

The indictment claims that all nine charges stem from four separate events. The first event took place in April 2020, during which Pitt is accused of forcefully touching the accuser’s private areas. In August 2020, it is alleged that Pitt coerced oral sex on an unidentified woman (name redacted in the indictment), and physically assaulted her with a piece of wood measuring four by four inches, as detailed in the legal documents.

In June 2021, less than a year ago, it is claimed that the actor attacked her using a cinderblock. Furthermore, according to the indictment, he strangled her in August 2021 as well.

Music

As a passionate film enthusiast, I must share some unsettling news regarding the music icon, Smokey Robinson. Four former employees have filed a lawsuit against him, alleging instances of sexual assault. The accusers are seeking a substantial compensation, not less than $50 million, and have additionally stated that they endured poor management under both Robinson and his wife. This troubling situation casts a shadow over the renowned artist’s career.

A spokesperson for the Kings County district attorney’s office did not comment.

Michael Douglas is particularly recognized for his role as Jimmy Darmody during the initial stages of “Boardwalk Empire” on HBO. Moreover, his small-screen appearances extend to series like “Hannibal,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” and “Animals.” Additionally, Douglas has graced the silver screen in movies such as “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” “The Dreamers,” “Hugo,” and “Ghost in the Shell.
