Adult Swim has parted ways with Justin Roiland as the 'Rick and Morty' creator awaits trial on charges of felony domestic violence.

In a statement posted by the official"Rick and Morty"account Tuesday, the channel, known for animated shows aimed at mature audiences, announced it"has ended its association" with Roiland, who also voices the series' two title characters.

The statement noted that"Rick and Morty""will continue" and that"the talented and dedicated crew are hard at work on Season 7."A criminal complaint obtained earlier this month by the Associated Press from prosecutors in Orange County, California, charged Roiland, 42, with corporal injury and false imprisonment by menace, fraud, violence or deceit against the woman, who he was living with at the time. The woman was not identified in court documents.

Roiland and Dan Harmon created the animated sci-fi sitcom about a mad scientist and his grandson, both voiced by Roiland. It has aired for six seasons on Cartoon Network as part of its Adult Swim nighttime programming block, and has been renewed for a seventh.
