“Game of Thrones” actor Joseph Gatt was arrested last week after LAPD detectives said he was allegedly engaging in “online sexually explicit communication” with a minor. Investigators are currently seeking to identify any other victims.

According to the LAPD, Gatt was arrested in his home on April 6 after police served a residential home search warrant. The LAPD’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) received a tip that he had allegedly engaged in sexually explicit communication with a minor in another state over the Internet. Gatt was subsequently arrested by detectives for an outstanding felony warrant for having “contact with a minor for sexual offense.” In a news release posted to their website on Tuesday, the LAPD asks other victims or those with pertinent information to contact them immediately.

Gatt was released the same day on $5,000 bail, TMZ reported. On Wednesday, Gatt issued a statement regarding his arrest and the allegations, writing via Twitter: “I obviously want to address the absolutely horrifying and completely untrue allegations recently leveled against me. They are 100% categorically wrong and reckless. I have confirmed errors and misleading information in today’s press release. I am fully cooperating with police and LAPD to get to the bottom of this. I look forward to clearing my good name. Thank you to all my friends and supporters who know that this is untrue and understand for legal reasons I cannot comment further on social media.”
