Mel Gibson Charged with Crime, Oksana Not Charged
The L.A. County District Attorney has just filed a misdemeanor battery charge against Mel Gibson … while announcing Oksana Grigorieva will not be charged with extortion.
The misdemeanor specifically targets someone who either cohabits or has a child with the alleged victim.
TMZ broke the story, Mel will plead no contest today to the charge and will not receive jail time … but will undergo continued counseling.
The no contest plea is not an admission of guilt.
As for Oksana, her rep tells TMZ, “Ms. Grigorieva will now concentrate on co-parenting Lucia, resuming her charitable work for the children of Chernobyl and moving forward with her life.”
Mel must appear in court today for the arraignment and the plea, which will take place at 1:30 PM PT … which TMZ will livestream.
