Mario Batali requested that photos and texts belonging to a woman who is accusing him of sexual assault be preserved because his lawyers say those could help prove his innocence.
for allegedly touching Natali Tene's breast, buttocks and groin before holding her face as he kissed her on the mouth and her face at a Boston bar in 2017. Tene has been identified by her lawyer, Eric M. Baum, who is representing her in a separate civil case against the disgraced celebrity chef.
"The victim realized Batali was intoxicated by the smell and half closed eyes," the incident report said. Batali and his lawyers requested that Tene's cellphone cloud-based data, emails and social media profiles be preserved"to avoid the possible or inadvertent destruction, deletion or manipulation of highly relevant and exculpatory information in this case."
Baum told NBC News on Friday that Batali is refusing to testify in the civil case in an attempt to invoke the Fifth Amendment and avoid anything potentially self-incriminating in the midst of the criminal case.
