'Game of Thrones' Actor Joseph Gatt Files $40M Lawsuit Over False Pedophile Claims

Game of Thrones actor Joseph Gatt has filed a $40 million lawsuit against the LAPD, the city of Los Angeles, and the office of District Attorney George Gascón, alleging false labeling as a serial pedophile. The lawsuit details a sordid saga involving a 16-year-old "obsessed fan," a botched police probe, and alleged personal animosity from a former Deputy L.A. D.A. The complaint accuses the defendants of subjecting Gatt to baseless arrest, unlawful detention, and malicious prosecution, resulting in the loss of his reputation, freedom of speech, and career. Gatt's legal team asserts that the charges were based on fabricated evidence and looks forward to recovering his losses in court.
