'Crash' Oscar winner Paul Haggis: Rape ruins his life!!
Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis lost his trial on friday in a sexual assault case and was found guilty by a court. At the same time, he has been ordered by the court to pay compensation of US $ 7.5 million to the victim.
Paul Haggis was accused by the woman of assaulting and attempting to rape her at the 2015 Toronto international Film Festival. The woman claimed that director Haggis sexually assaulted her before going to his apartment after the TIFF event. The woman said that it was terrible for her.
A jury of four women and two men ordered Haggis to pay Breest 7.5 million and recommended punitive damages, which will be determined in a second phase starting Monday. Haggis has said the lawsuit, which sat on the runway for nearly six years, has already ruined him financially.
