Controversy
In October 2007, Andre Birleanu was charged with sexual misconduct and aggravated harassment due to accusations from a 19-year-old actress, charges which he denied. Almost a year later, after many court appearances, the DA's Office in the Criminal Court of Manhattan dropped all charges on both cases.[4] Birleanu had maintained his innocence the entire time and had said he wanted to take both cases to trial to prove his innocence and counter prosecute for false charges.[5]
