Simone Levine

Simone Levine is a state judge in New Orleans presiding over the case of actor Shia LaBeouf. LaBeouf is currently facing battery charges stemming from an alleged incident at a New Orleans bar. Judge Levine initially denied LaBeouf's request to travel to Rome for his father's baptism but later granted permission. She has imposed several conditions on LaBeouf's release on bond, including mandatory enrollment in substance abuse treatment, participation in a drug testing program, and payment of a $100,000 bond. These requirements were put in place following the alleged battery incident where LaBeouf is also accused of using homophobic slurs. The case remains ongoing, with New Orleans police recently obtaining a new arrest warrant related to the same incident, increasing the number of alleged victims.
