Chef Mario Batali Looking at Possible Criminal Charges The charges, which include indecent assault and battery, stem from an incident in 2017 in Boston. On Friday, Batali will be arraigned at a courthouse in the Massachusetts city. The accuser's name has <br />not been released. But details are similar to a misconduct lawsuit filed against Batali last year by a woman<br />named Natali Tene. In a complaint, Tene claims that Batali committed a number of acts while she was taking a selfie with him. The potential charges follow an article by <br />Eater in 2017 in which four women <br />accuse Batali of misconduct. His show, 'The Chew,' on ABC has since been canceled. In May last year, Batali's restaurant group <br />also scrapped a deal with him in <br />light of the accusations.
