LOS ANGELES — Comedian Andy Dick has been charged with groping a driver from a ride-hailing service.
Los Angeles County prosecutors say Dick is expected to be arraigned Friday on a charge of misdemeanour sexual battery.
They allege he groped a driver in West Hollywood on April 12, 2018.
Dick’s representative had no immediate comment.
The 53-year-old native of Charleston, South Carolina who starred in the 1990s sitcom “NewsRadio” has been a popular and sometimes problematic guest on radio and TV shows known for his erratic, over-the-top behaviour.
He has been arrested and sued over several similar groping accusations through the years, including a 2010 incident involving a bouncer and patron at a West Virginia bar. Criminal charges were dismissed after Dick completed a pretrial diversion program.
