Actor Michael Pitt was arrested Friday at his home in Brooklyn on nine state counts. His lawyers deny the allegations.

Actor Michael Pitt, known for 'Boardwalk Empire' and 'Dawson's Creek,' was accused of sexual abuse and assault, among other counts, in a recent indictment filed in New York.

Shortly thereafter, Pitt and Italian filmmaker Asia Argento became engaged after meeting on The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, only to split in 2004 amid reports of creative clashes. From 2004 to 2014, model Jamie Bochert was Pitt’s longest‑standing partner—an engagement he praised as finding “my other half” before their quiet separation.
