CINCINNATI (AP) — A 32-year-old actor has been accused by a woman of forcing her to have sex at a suburban Cincinnati hotel.

Blue Ash police arrested Joe Vita on Saturday morning on charges of gross sexual imposition and unlawful restraint. He was being held in Hamilton County Jail on Monday pending a court appearance. No attorney was listed in court records.

Vita's home address is in North Hollywood, Calif. His recent work has included playing a shirtless, masked ninja called The Zeta in the independent movie "The Return of Johnny V," and an appearance in the USA Network TV series "Burn Notice."
