Prosecutors are ready to file criminal charges against Hollywood superstar MEL GIBSON for allegedly hitting baby mamma Oksana Grigorieva.
Deputy District Attorney John Lynch met with Berk at the Airport Courthouse for close to two hours.
However, law enforcement sources connected to the case said, before the meeting, that it was almost inevitable that Gibson, 55, would be charged.
A charge of domestic violence/corporal injury involving a former cohabitant is looming for the Oscar-winning actor/director, sources said.
It can be prosecuted as a felony or misdemeanor.
If convicted of a felony, the Lethal Weapon star could face up to four years in state prison; if convicted of a misdemeanor, he could face up to one year in county jail.
Team Mel may also try to cut a deal if the LA District Attorney decides to prosecute.
