Baby New Year, the beloved, iconic symbol of a fresh start, was arrested this morning in connection with the sexual assault of a 27-year-old woman at a New Years Eve party on Long Island.
Baby's agent, Michael Ovitz, told reporters that Baby "flatly denies" the assault allegations. Ovitz said that Baby's interactions with the accuser "were consensual" and that she "concocted the [assault] charges only after Baby rebuffed her advances" following an evening of intimate bliss. "These wild accusations are the garden-variety byproduct of a jilted lover's scorn," Ovitz explained.
When a police officer went to arrest Baby, Baby told him, "Don't tase me, bro." The officer handcuffed him, and while he was being led into custody Baby told reporters, "I'm just the patsy." If convicted, Baby could face up to 40 years imprisonment and be required to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life.
Baby's arrest comes just two weeks after Father Time was arrested on charges of child molestation.
