Brad Pitt has been cleared in California of child abuse allegations – amid his divorce proceedings with Angelina Jolie – but reportedly he is still on the FBI's radar.
The California decision was made Wednesday as the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services came to the conclusion that Pitt wasn't guilty of child abuse during a dispute on a private plane traveling from France to the U.S. back in September, USA Today noted.
“It was a full and thorough investigation and the determination has been made that no charges should be brought,” a source said Wednesday, UPI reported.
E! News reported last week that the FBI confirmed a preliminary investigation into the incident was continuing.
"In response to your inquiry regarding allegations within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States; specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued," the agency told E! News.
The accusations against the 52-year-old Pitt alleged be had verbally and physically abused his 15-year-old son Maddox on the flight, UPI noted.
However, interviews with family members didn’t validate the allegations, according to NBC News.
Jolie filed for divorce in September.
People magazine reported on Tuesday that a Jolie-Brad Pitt custody agreement has been reached for their six children – Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 15, Pax Jolie-Pitt, 12, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 11, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 10, and twins Knox Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 8.
"We can confirm that childcare professionals have encouraged a legal agreement accepted and signed by both sides over a week ago," a Jolie rep told People. "In accordance with this agreement, the six children will stay in their mother's custody, and the children will continue therapeutic visits with their father. This has been determined by childcare professionals to be in the children’s best interest."
Pitt’s rep declined to comment on the situation Wednesday, but a rep for Jolie offered a statement, according to UPI.
“The job of the DCFS is to make sure the children are in a safe and secure situation. As we said earlier this week, childcare professionals encouraged a legal agreement accepted and signed by both sides that was in the best interest of the children,” the rep said.
“Angelina said from the beginning that she felt she had to take action for the health of the family and is relieved that after their 8-week involvement, the DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal.”
