Brad Pitt divorce, FBI investigation news: FBI closes investigation into alleged child abuse

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has closed its review on the allegations made about "Allied" actor Brad Pitt and a purported child abuse incident involving his son Maddox.

The supposed incident was said to have occurred during a flight from France to Los Angeles, with a pit stop in Minnesota, on Sept. 14 aboard the Jolie-Pitt family's private plane.

"In response to allegations made following a flight within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States which landed in Los Angeles carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation," the FBI said in a statement sent to People. "No charges have been filed in this matter," it added.

In October, the actor was also cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). According to Fox News, while the L.A. County DCFS concluded that the incident allegedly ended with physical contact between Pitt and Maddox, no child abuse had taken place.

Jolie's representative told Fox that the "Maleficent" actress had to take action for the health of their family but that she "is relieved that after their 8-week involvement, the DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal."

Jolie filed for divorce from her husband of two years in September, citing "irreconcilable differences." She sought sole custody of her and Pitt's six children. Just this month, her representatives announced that the former couple had reached an agreement on the custody issue.

According to a statement released to The Huffington Post, childcare professionals encouraged a legal agreement that Jolie and Pitt then accepted and signed. According to this agreement, the couple's six children will remain in their mother's custody while continuing to have therapeutic visits with their father.
