Pitt’s lawyer Jason Goldman told TMZ: “Unfortunately, we live in a world where people like Mr. Pitt, a skilled expert who never ponders these crimes, are arrested for the unspeakable words of silent individuals.”
“In fact, this unfounded claim is brought suspiciously about four to five years after the alleged incident, at a time when the two parties were in a completely voluntary relationship with the agreement. This case will be dismissed.”
