《權力的游戲》演員約瑟夫·加特起訴洛杉磯市、洛杉磯警局和地方檢察官虛假戀童癖指控

Joseph Gatt, who played the Thenn warg in season 4 of Game of Thrones, is suing the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Police Department, and L.A. District Attorney George Gascón, among others, for $40 million over dismissed pedophile charges stemming from a 2022 arrest.
在《權力的游戲》第四季中扮演Thenn warg的約瑟夫·加特正在起訴洛杉磯市、洛杉磯警察局和洛杉磯地方檢察官喬治Gascón等人，要求賠償4000萬美元，原因是他在2022年被捕時被駁回的戀童癖指控。

In the suit, obtained by Entertainment Weekly, Gatt claims the defendants "publicly branded him as a serial pedophile," which in turn ruined his reputation and career. Gatt also alleges Deputy District Attorney Angela Brunson held "personal bias and animosity" towards him.
在《娛樂周刊》獲得的訴訟中，Gatt聲稱被告“公開將他稱為連環(huán)戀童癖者”，這反過來又毀了他的聲譽和事業(yè)。加特還指控地方副檢察官安吉拉·布倫森對他懷有“個人偏見和仇恨”。

"The arrest and charges against Mr. Gatt — for which he was branded by the Los Angeles DA and LAPD as a serial pedophile — were based on fabricated evidence," Dean Z. Pamphilis, a partner with Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP, said in a statement provided to EW.
Kasowitz Benson Torres律師事務所的合伙人Dean Z. Pamphilis在提供給EW的一份聲明中說:“對Gatt先生的逮捕和指控——他被洛杉磯地方檢察官和洛杉磯警察局稱為連環(huán)戀童癖者——是基于捏造的證據。”

Gatt was arrested in 2022 after allegedly engaging in sexually explicit online communication with a minor in another state. The interaction with the minor, the suit claims, resulted from a Cameo Gatt recorded for a 16-year-old fan's birthday. In the following months, the fan, who lived in Washington state, allegedly contacted Gatt on Instagram a couple times and Gatt " responded in a manner that was wholly appropriate and consistent with typical celebrity-fan exchanges."
Gatt于2022年因涉嫌與另一個州的未成年人進行色情在線交流而被捕。訴訟稱，與未成年人的互動源于Gatt為一位16歲粉絲的生日錄制的客串。在接下來的幾個月里，這位住在華盛頓州的粉絲據稱在Instagram上聯系了Gatt幾次，Gatt“以一種完全合適的方式回應，與典型的名人粉絲交流是一致的。”

The suit claims Gatt never actually met the teen fan and the defendants failed to "interview or even remotely assess for credibility" until nearly one year after Gatt's arrest.
訴訟稱，蓋特從未真正見過這位青少年粉絲，直到蓋特被捕近一年后，被告才“采訪或甚至遠程評估其可信度”。

"Twenty months later, when the fabricated evidence was finally disclosed to Mr. Gatt and Mr. Gatt’s forensic expert were prepared to expose the truth in open court, the Los Angeles DA voluntarily dismissed the criminal complaint," the statement continued. "Mr. Gatt, however, had already lost his community, his acting career, and his personal reputation. We look forward to recovering Mr. Gatt’s enormous losses in court."
“20個月后，當偽造的證據最終被披露給Gatt先生，而Gatt先生的法醫(yī)專家準備在公開法庭上揭露真相時，洛杉磯地方檢察官自愿駁回了刑事訴訟，”聲明繼續(xù)說道。然而，加特已經失去了他的社區(qū)、他的演藝事業(yè)和他的個人聲譽。我們期待著在法庭上追回加特先生的巨額損失。”
