Overview

• Michael Pitt, known for 'Boardwalk Empire,' was arrested on May 2 and charged with nine counts, including first-degree sexual abuse, assault, and strangulation.
• The charges stem from four alleged incidents at Pitt's Brooklyn home between April 2020 and August 2021 involving his ex-girlfriend.
• Prosecutors allege Pitt sexually assaulted, struck the victim with a wooden plank and cinderblock, and strangled her during these incidents.
• Pitt has pleaded not guilty, posted $100,000 bail, and is under a one-year no-contact order with his ex-girlfriend.
• His defense attorneys claim the allegations are baseless and uncorroborated, asserting the relationship was consensual and that the case will be dismissed.
