Michael Pitt Indicted on Nine Criminal Charges

News summary

Actor Michael Pitt has been indicted on nine criminal charges, including first-degree sexual abuse, criminal sexual acts, assault, attempted assault, and strangulation, involving four incidents at his Brooklyn home between April 2020 and August 2021. Prosecutors allege Pitt sexually assaulted his then-girlfriend, forcibly touched her, engaged in nonconsensual oral sex, and attacked her with a wooden plank and a cinder block, as well as choking her in separate incidents. Pitt has pleaded not guilty and was released on $100,000 bail, with a court appearance set for June 17. His attorneys deny the allegations, stating they are unsubstantiated and emerged years after the events, during what they describe as a consensual relationship. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office has declined to comment beyond the indictment, and the alleged victim's identity is undisclosed. Pitt has previously faced legal issues, including arrests in 2022 for assault and larceny, and a hospitalization for erratic behavior.
