French Director Christophe Ruggia Found Guilty of Assaulting Adèle Haenel
In a landmark verdict for France’s #MeToo movement film director Christophe Ruggia has been found guilty of sexually assaulting actress Adèle Haenel during her early teenage years.
The court sentenced Ruggia to four years in prison, with two years suspended and two years to be served under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. He was also ordered to pay €15,000 in damages to Haenel and €20,000 for her psychological therapy.
Haenel, now 35, accused Ruggia of inappropriate touching and harassment between 2001 and 2004, starting when she was 12.
The incidents occurred during and after the filming of “Les Diables” (“The Devils”), a film directed by Ruggia in which Haenel played a leading role. She alleged that Ruggia used his position to isolate and abuse her during frequent meetings at his home.
Ruggia, 60, denied the allegations and plans to appeal the verdict. His lawyers criticized the decision, claiming it was unjustified.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
