Pitt’s lawyer, Jason Goldman said that he already had evidence and was expected to dismiss the case.
Goldman said in a text message to the Associated Press, “Unfortunately, we live in a world where Mr. Pitt – a skilled professional, who will never contemplate these crimes – can be arrested on the uncontrolled term of an incredible person.”
He said, “In fact, this baseless claim has been raised some four or five years after the suspected alleged incident, from the time when the two sides were in a completely consent relationship.”
Goldman said that Pitt did not convince the allegations on Friday and posted a bail of $ 100,000. He returned to court in Brooklyn on 17 June.
Associated press usually does not name people who say that they have been sexually abused until they come forward publicly, which the woman has not done in the case of pit.
The prosecution alleged that Pitt had forcibly sexually touched his ex -girlfriend in April 2020. In August 2020, the grand jury alleged that Pitt forced the woman to oral sex and assaulted her with a 4-inch-4-inch piece.
The prosecution also says that Pitt attacked him twice in June 2021 with a cinder block and suffocated him in August 2021.
TMZ told in 2022 that Pitt was allegedly arrested for punching a man in Brooklyn after taking his phone and two months later, was brought to a hospital under police escort. A public outbreak in New York.
