Christine Quinn's Husband Christian Dumontet Charged with Misdemeanor Assault and Child Abuse/Endangerment

Christian Dumontet, the estranged husband of Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn, has been formally charged after a March 2024 domestic incident in which the couple's young son was allegedly injured.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office tells PEOPLE that the tech executive has been charged with three misdemeanors: child abuse/endangerment, assault, and violation of a protection order.

PEOPLE reached out to reps for Dumontet (who also goes by Christian Richard), but did not immediately receive a response. 

Dumontet and the Selling Sunset alum, 35, got married in 2019. They welcomed their son, Christian George Dumontet, in 2021. Dumontet filed for divorce in April 2024.

Dumontet’s charges stem from two March incidents at their Los Angeles family home, in which he was arrested both times.

On March 19, he was arrested in connection with a domestic violence incident involving their son.

“Victim and suspect were involved in a domestic dispute,” a public information officer told PEOPLE of the incident. “The suspect threw a bag containing a glass bottle at the victim, missed the victim, but the object hit the victim’s child causing injury,”

Dumontet was charged with assault with a "deadly weapon" after the toddler was treated by paramedics, according to a statement from law enforcement.

On the following day, March 20, he was arrested again after he allegedly violated an emergency protective order, the LAPD confirmed to PEOPLE at the time.

Since then, Dumontet and Quinn have both made accusations against one another, as well as filed dual restraining orders.

ent could possibly have plans to abduct their son.

PEOPLE obtained a copy of his request, and in it, he asked that Quinn move out and stay 100 yards (300 feet) from his Los Angeles home.

As for Quinn, in her documents, which were obtained by PEOPLE, she claimed Dumontet had a history of "volatile and erratic" behavior.

She also alleged that her estranged husband had taken "extreme measures to prevent me from leaving the property" and to "isolate me and our son," including locking down their front security gate "so we physically cannot leave the property."

In April, a judge approved Quinn's request for a temporary restraining order, which in turn meant that her former partner was the one who had to vacate their shared Hollywood home where the alleged conflict took place.

Dumontet is set to be arraigned on June 4, the L.A. City Attorney's office tells PEOPLE.

Reps for Quinn tell PEOPLE, “We are extremely satisfied with the decision of the Los Angeles City Attorney's office to file three separate charges against Mr. Dumontet. He has now been formally charged with child abuse against his 2-year-old toddler, assault against Christine Quinn, and for violating a restraining order.” 

“We believe this development is a crucial step toward safeguarding the legal and personal interests of both victims and trust that the matter will continue to be handled with the utmost seriousness it deserves,” they said.
