Milania, 20, pleaded not guilty and was released pending an upcoming court appearance.
“A criminal complaint is merely an accusation,” Caggiano added. “Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until she has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
Milania is expected to appear in court next month, according to records.
Giudice’s representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Teresa and ex-husband Joe Giudice share four daughters including Milania: Gia, 25, Gabriella, 22, and Audriana, 16.
The former couple, who were married for 20 years, separated in December 2019. Their divorce was finalized in September 2020.
