Celebrity chef Mario Batali to face charges for alleged indecent assault stemming from 2017 incident at Boston restaurant.
Celebrity chef Mario Batali faces arraignment Friday in Boston Municipal Court on a charge of indecent assault and battery in connection with an incident at a Back Bay restaurant on March 31, 2017.
"Mr. Batali denies the allegations in both this criminal complaint and the civil complaint filed last August," Anthony Fuller, Batali's lawyer, told ABC News in a statement."The charges, brought by the same individual without any new basis, are without merit. He intends to fight the allegations vigorously and we expect the outcome to fully vindicate Mr. Batali."
The New York Police Department investigated two alleged sexual assaults by the chef, but ultimately the district attorney did not press charges.
