"Boardwalk Empire" actor Michael Pitt was arrested and indicted in Brooklyn on Friday on charges of sexual abuse, criminal sex act, assault and strangulation, according to court documents. The actor pleaded not guilty and was released until his next court date in June.

On Aug. 5, 2020, Pitt allegedly engaged in oral sex with an individual by means of forcible compulsion and without their consent according to the indictment. That same day he also allegedly assaulted an individual with a piece of wood.

Shortly thereafter, Pitt and Italian filmmaker Asia Argento became engaged after meeting on The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, only to split in 2004 amid reports of creative clashes. From 2004 to 2014, model Jamie Bochert was Pitt’s longest‑standing partner—an engagement he praised as finding “my other half” before their quiet separation.
