Natasha 'dog molester' Lyonne freed

December 16th, 2006

New York, NY - American Pie actress Natasha Lyonne was freed by a judge after turning herself in on charges which included threatening to molest a dog.

The 27-year-old was also charged with trespassing and harassment following an incident in 2004.

She allegedly walked into a neighbor's home saying: "I'm going to sexually molest your dog".

A judge ordered charges to be dismissed if she is not arrested for six months as she had undergone drug treatment.

She has also paid $2,000 compensation and is continuing to receive drug counseling.

The court appearance stemmed from an incident when authorities said Lyonne banged on the neighbour's door, stormed into their apartment, ripped a mirror from the wall and threatened the dog.

An arrest warrant was issued after she failed to appear in court three times.

She had previously been sentenced to probation following a drink-drive arrest.

As well as appearing in two of the American Pie comedies, Lyonne also featured in Blade and Scary Movie 2.
