Gatt was taken into custody by the police after being served with a search warrant at his home in Los Angeles. The actor was being investigated by the LAPD’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force after they received a tip that he was engaging in sexually explicit conversations with a minor across state lines. Gatt also had an outstanding felony warrant for contact with a minor for a sexual offense, which he was subsequently arrested for.
According to TMZ, the Game of Thrones star was ultimately released on $5,000 bail. Investigators are looking for any additional victims of Gatt.
