Weston Cage Pleads Not Guilty to Assault Charges

Weston Cage, son of actor Nicolas Cage, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault with a deadly weapon against his mother, Christina Fulton, stemming from an alleged altercation in April. Fulton, who appeared at the Los Angeles courthouse, expressed her hope that Weston receives the help he needs, while Weston countered that it is his mother who needs assistance. The incident, which reportedly involved Weston attacking two individuals, left Fulton with serious injuries and prompted a police response. Despite her pleas for a mental health evaluation for Weston, law enforcement did not detain him at the time. A restraining order has been issued against Weston, preventing contact with his mother until the case is resolved. The next court hearing is scheduled for September, as the complexities of their relationship and Weston's mental health challenges continue to unfold.
