One of Roiland’s attorneys stated in a statement that his client is innocent and that he expects the case to be dismissed.
“We look forward to clearing Justin’s name and assisting him in moving forward as soon as possible,” wrote attorney T. Edward Welbourn.
In the case, Roiland, 42, is charged with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by threat, violence, fraud, and/or deception. The case was first reported publicly by NBC News.
According to the complaint, the incident happened on or about January 19, 2020, against an anonymous Jane Doe who was dating Roiland at the time.
Roiland pleaded not guilty to both charges in October 2020, according to Orange County Superior Court records.
The case has been the subject of more than a dozen court hearings, including pre-trial hearings, since then. A trial date has not yet been set.
