Highlight:

LAPD says Avenatti was charged. Avenatti says he wasn't [View all] Yosemito Nov 2018 OP

No, they use different words, and there's the discrepancy... RockRaven Nov 2018 #1

The LAPD said he was booked on a charge Yosemito Nov 2018 #2

Correction. I think I understand now Yosemito Nov 2018 #5

That's the way I understand the procedure. Avenatti is technically correct. Kaleva Nov 2018 #10

Avenatti was arrested and booked. He has NOT been arraigned on charges, so technically he's correct hlthe2b Nov 2018 #15

Avenatti is playing it coy by using different words Kaleva Nov 2018 #3

One way to find out: Find out the date for his first appearance in Court. no_hypocrisy Nov 2018 #4

That date probably hasn't Ben set yet. Kaleva Nov 2018 #7

But isn't it up to the DA to decide if formal charges are to be brought? Kaleva Nov 2018 #9

Yes Jarqui Nov 2018 #14

And yet the same woman has said it didn't happen. leftofcool Nov 2018 #17

What same woman? LisaL Nov 2018 #18

I don't think so. Jarqui Nov 2018 #19

His 1st and 2nd wife said that but they aren't involved in this. It's somebody else we don't know. Kaleva Nov 2018 #23

Do you usually have to post bail if not charged? Hoyt Nov 2018 #8

In California you can wait for arraignment for the 72 hours. If they don't charge, you're free. onecaliberal Nov 2018 #12

Looks to be so in CA on this type of allegation. leftofcool Nov 2018 #16

LAPD did n't say if the victim was a man or woman. They said that the victim had visable signs... Kaleva Nov 2018 #20

I think he was arrested on suspicion of DV fallout87 Nov 2018 #11

I hope LAPD is investigating this AlexSFCA Nov 2018 #13

Avenatti ought to be threating to sue the person who filed a complaint against him. Kaleva Nov 2018 #21

Why must he always insult and threaten people every day? Polybius Nov 2018 #22
