Michael Pitt is currently entangled in serious legal issues that could have significant repercussions on his career.

The talented actor known for his role in Boardwalk Empire was arrested in Brooklyn, New York, on May 2. This arrest followed allegations of sexual abuse and assault, as detailed in arrest records accessed by E! News on May 7. The severity of these allegations has captured public attention and raised concerns regarding the actor’s future.

The allegations stem from four separate incidents that reportedly occurred in 2020 and 2021, according to an indictment issued by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, which was also reviewed by NBC News. This legal document outlines the nature of the accusations and sheds light on the timeline of alleged offenses, indicating a troubling pattern of behavior.

Among the numerous disturbing charges, the indictment reveals that during one of the incidents, Pitt is accused of strangling an individual. Furthermore, in separate incidents in 2021, he allegedly caused harm to another person using a four-by-four piece of lumber and a cinder block. The indictment, however, does not clarify the number of victims involved or their relationships with Pitt, leaving many questions unanswered as reported by the outlet.

As a result of these serious allegations, Pitt now faces a total of nine legal charges. These include two counts of sexual abuse in the first degree, one count of a criminal sexual act in the first degree, one count of a criminal sexual act in the third degree, two counts of assault in the second degree, two counts of attempted assault in the second degree, and one count of strangulation in the second degree. These charges reflect the gravity of the situation and the potential legal consequences he may encounter, based on court records reviewed by E!.
