Game of Thrones actor, Joseph Gatt has appeared in a Los Angeles criminal courtroom, charged with having sexually explicit chats online with a minor.

He recently arrived in court with his long-time girlfriend, actress and writer, Mercy Malick, and fans have been reacting.

According to the LA Superior Court judge presiding over the case, Judge Enrique Monguia, the hearing would continue on December 4 because additional discovery is needed for the case to move forward.

It’s been 18 months since Gatt was arrested in LA and his home was searched by police officers of the Juvenile Division, Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, armed with a search warrant.

WOW.
