In Italy, an Oscar-winning director has been arrested on Sunday in connection with allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman in the south of the country, Italian news media said, quoting local prosecutors.
According to multiple Italian press reports and a letter from the public prosecutor, Haggis is accused of forcing a young “foreign” – meaning non-Italian – woman to engage in sexual intercourse over the course of two days in Ostuni. The fest’s directors “immediately proceeded to remove any participation of the director from the event” and “At the same time, they express full solidarity with the woman involved,” they added.Paul Haggis was previously accused of sexual misconduct by four women in the United States in 2018, including two rape allegations.
Everyone else had left the office for the night when Haggis arrived for the meeting. He insisted on speaking in a back office, then began kissing her as they entered. “I was really fighting. “He asked me, ‘Do you really want to keep working?'” the woman told the Associated Press. “And then he pushed himself on me.”
