    Christian Slater arrested on sexual harassment charge

    NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Christian Slater was arrested in Manhattan early Tuesday after he sexually harassed a woman on the street, police said.

    Slater, 35, was taken into custody in an Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan after police responded to a call from a woman who said she had been attacked while walking, said New York Police Sgt. Mary Doherty.

    "Basically he grabbed a woman's behind on the street," said Doherty, adding Slater was "intoxicated at the time."

    Video showed Slater handcuffed and escorted by police into a squad car. "I didn't do anything," he said.

    He has been charged with third degree sexual abuse and is being held at the 19th precinct in Manhattan. He is expected to be arraigned Tuesday morning.

    Slater has had previous trouble with the law. In 1997 he was charged with three counts of assault and one count of battery after he assaulted a girlfriend while intoxicated. He served 59 days of a three-month sentence.

    Slater has starred in films such as "Interview with the Vampire," released in 1994, 1996's "Broken Arrow," and "Heathers" in 1989.

    Sounds like a desperate attempt to remind the movie-going public that he still exists...He would have gotten a LOT more exposure had he got caught with cocaine or something...

    Christian, I know Jack Nicholson.
    I've seen Jack Nicholson's movies.
    Jack Nicholson is a hell of a guy.
    Jack Nicholson can get away with stuff like this.
    Son, you're no Jack Nicholson.

    I actually had my ass pinched once in 7th grade by a girl. It was so random. I was in my locker bent over and boom. But I liked it. It never happened again though. I wonder if I can still file a lawsuit. I have never gone up and grabbed a girls ass but I have wanted too. I'm prepared for a counter suit.

    He has had alcohol problems for years. It has done nothing, but make him into a fool.

    He needs to get off the sauce.

    He got arrested for just grabbing a woman's behind? What a joke.

    How could they mention Slater and not talk about "The Legend of Billie Jean"? Fair is fair.
