BOSTON (AP) — Celebrity chef Mario Batali is facing a criminal charge on allegations that he forcibly kissed and groped a woman at a Boston restaurant in 2017.
Batali, who recently gave up financial stakes in all his restaurants, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday on a charge of indecent assault and battery, a spokeswoman for Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins said.
A criminal complaint filed last month says the woman told police that Batali noticed her taking a picture of him at the restaurant and offered to take a selfie with her, The Boston Globe reported . The details in the complaint mirror those in a civil lawsuit filed against Batali in August. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for"severe emotional distress" including anxiety and self-doubt."The charges, brought by the same individual without any new basis, are without merit," Attorney Anthony Fuller said in an emailed statement."He intends to fight the allegations vigorously and we expect the outcome to fully vindicate Mr. Batali," Fuller said.
