As opposed to the rumors?

2. Heard on CNN

The accuser is anonymous. More dirty tricks?

3. The police haven't released the identity of the victim.

Michael Avenatti, who skyrocketed to fame as a critic of President Donald Trump and the lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels, was arrested Wednesday and booked on a felony domestic violence charge, Los Angeles police said.

The victim in the case had visible injuries, according to Officer Tony Im, a police spokesman. But Avenatti slammed the allegation as "completely bogus" in a statement released by his law firm.

Avenatti, who has said he's mulling a 2020 presidential run, was being held on $50,000 bail, Im said. He was arrested around 2 p.m. Wednesday on the same block where he lives in a skyscraper apartment.

Police declined to provide any details about the victim, including the victim's relationship to Avenatti.

6. The question in the OP is who is the victim so I used that term.

And according to the police there is a person with physical injuries, who therefore seems to be a victim of someone. It remains to be seen whether the injuries were caused by Avenatti.
