Joseph Gatt arrested for sexual assault!
Game of Thrones actor arrested for sexually abuse of a minor.
Actor Joseph Gatt is under investigation for alleged inappropriate communication with a minor, Los Angeles police said. Gatt, best known for his role as Thenn Warg in the HBO series Game of Thrones, was arrested last week after police searched his Los Angeles home. A source from the police revealed that the 50-year-old actor was arrested for exchanging sexually explicit messages with a minor. Gatt was released on the same day on $ 5,000 bail. Gatt played a member of a savage tribe in Game of Thrones, and his character appears in three episodes. He also appeared in the remakes of 'Dumba', 'Star Trek Into Darkness' and 'Thoru'.
The actor, who was diagnosed with alopecia at the age of 12, lives with his girlfriend Mercy Malick, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2009. After his release, Gatt took to Instagram to deny the allegations, which he called 'absolutely appalling and completely inaccurate'.
‘Obviously, I want to respond to these absolutely horrifying and completely inaccurate accusations that have come up against me. This is one hundred percent wrong, ' he wrote. 'I'm working with the police to get to the truth. I am looking forward to clear the stain from my name ', he added and thanked everyone who supports him.
The Los Angeles Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) division is responsible for an investigation that is still "ongoing" and encourages anyone with additional information about the case to contact them.
Recall, Gatt had a supporting role in two episodes of the fourth season of the hit HBO series, where he played a member of the Thenn tribe. This particular member, as Jon Snow ( Kit Harrington ) discovered, was also a warg, capable of entering the mind of any animal he wished, and he was one of the savages who managed to scale the Wall. Beyond Game of Thrones, Gatt has also appeared in the last two Star Trek movies, the live-action remake of Dumbo and the recent thriller Titanic 666. He is also part of the cast of Black Adam, the next DC film starring Dwayne Johnson.
