He was subsequently arrested by detectives for an outstanding felony warrant for California Penal Code 288.3(a) – Contact with a Minor for Sexual Offense.” LAPD said in a newsroom release.

Joseph Gatt denied the allegations on Wednesday.
“I obviously want to address the absolutely horrifying and completely untrue allegations recently leveled against me,” the actor said. “They are 100% categorically wrong and reckless. I have confirmed errors and misleading information in today’s press release.”
He added, “I am fully cooperating with police and LAPD to get to the bottom of this. I look forward to clearing my good name.”
