‘Boardwalk Empire’ star Michael Pitt accused of sexual abuse, arrested in Brooklyn

Actor Michael Pitt was arrested in New York City on May 2, 2025, and charged with sexual abuse, assault, and strangulation related to incidents at his Bushwick home.
The charges arise from four alleged incidents involving his former girlfriend that took place over a period spanning early 2020 through mid-2021, including claims of forced fondling and assaults using various weapons.
Pitt pleaded not guilty during his May 6 arraignment in Brooklyn Supreme Court and posted $100,000 bail for release pending trial.
Pitt’s lawyer Jason Goldman called the claims baseless and said they rely on “the uncorroborated word of an unhinged individual,” emphasizing a prior consensual relationship.
The case proceeds with further court appearances scheduled, and details about the alleged victim or victims remain undisclosed.
