‘Boardwalk Empire’ star Michael Pitt was arrested on Friday and charged with a series of sex crimes and assaults that occurred throughout 2020 and 2021.

Pitt is facing several charges in Brooklyn for four different alleged incidents, including 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, court records state.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges and was released after posting $15,000 bail.

A Brooklyn District Attorney's Office indictment accuses Pitt of using a cinderblock to carry out one of the alleged assaults in June 2021. In August of that year, Pitt also allegedly strangled someone.

The indictment does not indicate how many people are accusing Pitt of the crimes or what their relationship to Pitt is.
