Brad Pitt cleared of child abuse allegations

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services has concluded its investigation into child abuse allegations against Brad Pitt, PEOPLE reports, citing multiple sources.

“It was a full and thorough investigation and the determination has been made that no charges should be brought,” said a source, adding that there was no finding of abuse.

“The likely next step is a referral to family court so that the matter of custody can be determined; there is no permanent custody agreement currently in place, only an arrangement pending the outcome of this investigation. Now, with this conclusion, custody can be determined,” the source explained.
