‘Rick and Morty’ creator charged with felony domestic violence
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Justin Roiland, who created the animated series “Rick and Morty” and provides the voices of the two title characters, is awaiting trial on charges of felony domestic violence against a former girlfriend.
A criminal complaint obtained Thursday from The Associated Press from prosecutors in Orange County, California, charged Roiland, 42, with corporal injury and false imprisonment by menace, fraud, violence or deceit against the woman, whom he was living with at the time. The woman was not identified in court documents.
Roiland has pleaded not guilty.
I'd been looking forward to an endless torrent of "Rick and Morty," but it might all come crashing to a halt because of this. Roiland is innocent until proven guilty, of course; the incident took place in 2020, but I imagine the public is going to learn a lot about Roiland's personal life once this goes to trial.
