‘Dawson’s Creek’ alum Michael Pitt arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting ex, attacking her with cinder block

“Dawson’s Creek” alum Michael Pitt was arrested Friday for allegedly sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend and attacking her with a cinder block.

Four incidents allegedly took place at Pitt’s Brooklyn home between April 2020 and August 2021, according to court records obtained by Page Six.

The “Boardwalk Empire” star was charged with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse in addition to counts of strangulation in the second degree, assault injury with a blunt object and many others.

Pitt, 44, pleaded not guilty to the charges before posting a $15,000 bail and being released from custody, per the documents.

Prosecutors claimed in an indictment obtained by The Post that the “Murder by Numbers” actor had forcibly fondled his then-girlfriend and then months later sexually assaulted and struck her with a wooden plank.

Pitt also allegedly assaulted the woman with a cinder block in June 2021.

The “Hannibal” alum was additionally accused of strangling his past lover in August 2021.

In response to the news, Pitt’s attorney, Cary London, called the actor “an accomplished professional who would never so much as contemplate these crimes” while decrying the “uncorroborated word of an unhinged individual.”

The lawyer added to The Post, “We look forward to proving his innocence through the evidence and not through the media.”

Page Six has reached out to London for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Pitt was previously arrested in July 2022 and charged with assault and petty larceny for allegedly taking a man’s phone and hitting him multiple times.

The “Funny Games” actor was reportedly hospitalized and deemed “emotionally disturbed” after being accused of throwing items at people from the rooftop of a building later that year.

Pitt is due in court on June 17.
