It’s the first felony criminal charge celebrity chef Mario Batali has faced since he's been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct.

Celebrity chef Mario Batali is due in a Boston court Friday to be arraigned on an indecent assault charge that stems from an alleged 2017 incident with a woman in a Back Bay restaurant.

The woman went over to apologize, but Batali told her it was OK and offered to take a selfie, court documents alleged. While seated on a bar stool, Batali put his arm around the woman, who was standing, grabbed her breast, pulled her closer, put his hand between her legs and touched her inappropriately, documents said.

Attorneys for the women praised the district attorney’s office in Boston for pursuing the criminal case. Batali has previously acknowledged"deeply inappropriate" behavior but has said that he"vehemently denies any allegations of sexual assault."
