Roiland was charged with domestic battery and false imprisonment in May 2020 after an incident with a woman he was dating, according to a criminal complaint.

Justin Roiland, the star and co-creator of the animated comedy series "Rick and Morty," has been charged with felony domestic violence in Orange County, California, in connection with a 2020 incident, according to a criminal complaint filed in May 2020 by the Orange County District Attorney. He appeared in court Thursday for a pre-trial hearing.

Roiland pleaded not guilty in 2020. Roiland and his attorneys didn't respond to requests for comment.

NBC News obtained the criminal complaint in the case, which charges Roiland, 42, with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit. NBC News is the first to report publicly on the case.

The complaint states the incident occurred on or about Jan. 19, 2020, against an anonymous Jane Doe who was dating Roiland at the time.

According to Orange County Superior Court records, Roiland pleaded not guilty to both charges in October 2020. Since then, the case has been the subject of more than a dozen court hearings, including pre-trial hearings. A trial date is not currently set.

Time to bring on new voice actors

False imprisonment? Goddamn. Could be nail in the coffin on Rick & Morty. I guess they could get new voice actors but probably wouldn't be the same...

In the middle of an argument

"fukk you, I'm going to my ex boyfriend's house"
"Hold up, don't leave let's talk this out"
"fukk you, give me your car keys"
"Not until we work this out, wtf is going on, I didn't even do anything"

Congrats you just imprisoned them

"He refused to provide me safe transport home, with held our car keys, and was gaslighting me, made me feel threatened and said I couldn't leave when I wanted to flee the situation"



Don't abuse women
Don't manipulate women
Don't hold women captive

But regular argument shyt often leads to charges brehs (not me )
