Fox News
"Game of Thrones" star Joseph Gatt filed a $40 million lawsuit against LA District Attorney George Gascón and more after being "publicly branded as a serial pedophile."
On Thursday, Gatt filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming that a "thoroughly botched criminal investigation" based on "the uncorroborated word of a then-16-year-old, admittedly obsessed fan of Gatt" caused the "intentional destruction" of his career and reputation after he was "publicly branded as a serial pedophile," according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
