Michael Pitt, known for his role in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, is facing serious legal trouble after being charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse and assault in Brooklyn.

The actor was arrested on May 2, 2025, and charged with a series of alleged violent crimes that reportedly occurred between April 2020 and August 2021.

Court documents reveal that Pitt has been indicted on charges including sexual abuse, criminal sex act, assault, and strangulation. He pleaded not guilty during a recent appearance at Brooklyn Supreme Court and is scheduled to return for another hearing in June.

According to reports, the first alleged incident occurred in April 2020, when Pitt is accused of sexually abusing a victim through forcible compulsion inside his Brooklyn residence. In August of the same year, he allegedly forced the victim to engage in oral sex and assaulted them with a wooden four-by-four. Further accusations detail an assault involving a cinderblock in June 2021, followed by an alleged strangulation in August 2021.

While the name of the victim has been redacted in legal documents, some reports, including from the New York Post, suggest the individual may have been Pitt's former girlfriend.

This is not Pitt’s first run-in with the law. In 2022, he was arrested for assault and petty larceny, and later that year, he was hospitalized after being found in a mentally disturbed state.

Requests for comments from Pitt’s legal team and the Brooklyn District Attorney's office remain unanswered at this time.
