PARK CITY — (AP) The CEO of a California company is accused of assaulting one of the stars of the now-canceled ABC Family reality show "Beverly Hills Nannies" at his Utah vacation home.
Summit County prosecutors said they've charged Patrick Henry, 51, with assault, damaging or interrupting a communication device, and criminal mischief. He's set to be arraigned March 18.
Authorities allege that Henry was hosting Ariane Bellamar at his home Jan. 23 when he assaulted her and threw her phone to the ground when she tried to call for help. Police say the phone's screen was cracked in the encounter.
Henry is the CEO of the San Diego tech company Entropic Communications Inc. He issued a statement published by the Los Angeles Times saying Bellamar was drunk at the time and the assault accusations are false.
