The arrest is merely the latest charge of sexual offenses against the actor.

In 2004, Dick was arrested for allegedly committing indecent exposure after exposing himself at a McDonald’s fast-food restaurant.

In 2005, he allegedly exposed his genitals to audience members of Yuk Yuk’s comedy club in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He was removed from the stage and had his second night canceled. That same year, he allegedly attempted to grope rock star Courtney Love during the comedy roast of Pamela Anderson. Love slapped him.

In February 2007, he was forcibly dragged off of the set of the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! after repeatedly touching Ivanka Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump.

In July 2008, he was arrested for allegedly pulling down the tank top and bra of a 17-year-old girl, exposing her breasts. Dick pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and marijuana possession. He received three years probation, nearly $700 in fines, and wore a monitoring bracelet for a year as punishment.

In January 2010, Dick was arrested for allegedly groping a bartender and a patron at a bar in Huntington, West Virginia. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree sexual abuse. He avoided conviction by successfully staying out of legal trouble for six months. In October of that year, he allegedly exposed himself at Cafe Audrey in Hollywood, California.

In January 2011, he was kicked out of the Adult Video Network awards after groping performer Tera Patrick and drag queen Chi Chi LaRue. The following April, he exposed himself at a party connected to the Newport Beach Film Festival.

In October 2017, he was fired from the independent film Raising Buchanan for allegedly “groping people’s genitals [and making] unwanted kissing/licking and sexual propositions” towards at least four people associated with the production, The Hollywood Reporter wrote. That same month, he was fired from the film Vampire Dad for “multiple, flagrant acts of improper conduct and inappropriate contact” with several cast members, the publication added.

In June 2018, he was charged for allegedly groping a woman during the previous April. In October 2019, he was accused of grabbing an Uber rideshare driver by the genitals.

In 2019, a man punched Dick into unconsciousness for allegedly groping him.

Dick has previously said that he has been in and out of rehabilitation programs at least 20 times in an effort to address his drug and alcohol addictions.
