“Empire of the promenade” Actor Michael Pitt was arrested and charged in Brooklyn on Friday for sexual abuse, criminal sexual act, assault and strangulation, according to court documents.
The actor pleaded not guilty and was released until his next hearing date in June.
The accusations arise from alleged incidents that occurred in 2020 and 2021, according to the Brooklyn district prosecutor’s office.
The accusation act alleges that Pitt sexually abused an anonymous individual in April 2020 “by means of a forced constraint”.

In August 2020, the indictment said that he would have forced oral sex to an individual.
The indictment said that Pitt would have injured an individual with “a four per four” the same month.
In June 2021, the indictment said that Pitt would have attacked an individual with a concrete block.
In August 2021, the indictment said that he would have tried to strangle someone.
Individual identities are exploded in the indictment, it is therefore not clear if one or more people make allegations against Pitt.
In a statement to ABC News on Wednesday, Pitt’s lawyer James Goldman said: “Unfortunately, we live in a world where someone like Mr. Pitt – an accomplished professional who would not contemplate it as much. Discovering exempt evidence and this case will be rejected.”
Pitt is best known for his role as Jimmy Darmody in the criminal drama of the time based in Atlantic City “Boardwalk Empire”.
In his role, Pitt played opposite Steve Buscemi As a promising gangster in the world of underground crime portrayed in the show.
Pitt, who also appeared in “Dawson’s Creek” earlier in his career, has assumed several television roles since the end of “Boardwalk Empire”, appearing in several episodes of the NBC “Hannibal” program. He also played in cinema roles such as “The Dreamers” and “Last Days”.
