UPDATE: In a statement written in Italian, the Allora Fest said it 'will immediately eliminate any participation of the director from the event. At the same time, we express full solidarity with the woman involved in the matter.' Read the full statement:
The Oscar-winning director and screenwriter Paul Haggis was arrested in the southern Italian city of Ostuni on Sunday after a “foreign woman” claimed he had held her in his hotel room and forced her to have sex over the course of two days, police in the regional capital of Brindisi confirmed to The Daily Beast.
The Italian police report indicates that, after assaulting her, Haggis allegedly took the victim to the airport to fly her out of Italy. When she resisted, he abandoned her there despite her alleged compromised physical and psychological states.
