\n\tJustin Roiland, the<\/span> co-creator and lead voice actor of the hit animated series Rick and Morty<\/em>is facing charges of felony domestic violence stemming from a 2020 incident.<\/p>\n

\n\tNBC News<\/em> reports that Roiland was arrested and charged with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud, and\/or deceit following the incident, which involved a Jane Doe victim he was dating at the time.<\/p>\n

\n

\tRoiland pleaded not guilty to the two charges, and the criminal complaint, arrest affidavit, and subsequent legal hearings remain sealed. NBC News<\/em> reported on the criminal case against Roiland after he appeared Thursday at a pretrial hearing in Orange County, California. A trial date has not yet been set, but Roiland was ordered to attend another pretrial hearing on April 27.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe incident reportedly occurred in Jan. 2020, and Roiland was charged in May 2020. He was arrested and released on a $50,000 bond in August of that year and was formally arraigned in Oct. 2020. That same month, a protective order was filed against Roiland prohibiting him from contacting or going within 100 feet of the Jane Doe victim; that protective order remains in effect until Oct. 2023.<\/p>\n

\taccording to NBC News<\/em>, Roiland’s attorneys told the court that he was offered a plea deal. News of the charges against Roiland comes just days after a new animated series he’s executive producing, Koala Man<\/em>debuted on Hulu.<\/p>\n

\n

\tRoiland and Dan Harmon co-created Rick and Morty<\/em> in 2013, and in the decade that followed, the series has reportedly become a billion-dollar franchise. In 2018, after accusations of inappropriate conduct were levied against Harmon during his time working on community<\/em>, he admitted to sexually harassing a former writer on the show, Megan Ganz. The situation led to him being ultimately fired from the cult NBC sitcom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
