LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - An actor who traded lawsuits with the motion picture academy after being detained outside the Oscars has been charged with criminal trespass.
The City of Los Angeles has filed charges against Michael AvMen and his wife, Mandy, for attempting to attend the Academy Awards without tickets in March. They have been ordered to appear in court July 29 to face the charges -- and if they don't, an arrest warrant will be issued.
AvMen sued the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in April for $50 million, claiming false imprisonment after the couple was detained for hours outside the Kodak Theater.
The Venezuela-born actor (a.k.a. Michael Avila), who claims he has small parts in the upcoming "Battle: Los Angeles" and "Straw Dogs," argued that his publicist arranged for him to attend the March 7 ceremony and told him that he could pick up his tickets once inside the venue. But when the AvMens arrived on the red carpet without tickets, they said they were "rushed away to an AMPAS detention center where they were held and questioned about how they had been able to get onto the red carpet." Six hours later, they were transferred to the police station and released without any charges.
The Academy later fired back with a cross-complaint alleging trespass and claiming that the Texas-based AvMens admitted in custody that they never had tickets to the event.
Now, while the civil case proceeds, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich is getting involved.
In a lengthy statement reacting to the criminal complaint, AvMen said he was "very disturbed" by the academy's "dirty Game of Deception" and would ask the Venezuelan government to look into possible violations of his human rights.
The Academy declined to comment on the developments.
