Los Angeles, June 07: Actor Tom Sizemore pleaded innocent on Friday to 16 charges, including domestic violence and witness intimidation, stemming from his relationship with onetime "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss.
Sizemore, who starred in the CBS drama "Robbery Homicide Division," was also ordered by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to stay away from Fleiss, his ex-girlfriend of a year and return to court on June 24.
Sizemore is charged in the Fleiss case with domestic violence, making criminal threats, intimidation of a witness, vandalism, making obscene phone calls and repeated harassing phone calls.
The 41-year-old actor -- who is also facing charges of assaulting another ex-girlfriend and trying to intimidate a witness in that case -- has accused Fleiss of making up the allegations because she is "fixated and obsessed" with him.
He was arrested in May for allegedly threatening Fleiss to keep her from testifying in the original domestic violence trial.
