An Italian judge ruled there were no grounds to pursue an investigation in which a woman accused the Oscar winner of forcing her to have sex against her will, according to media reports.
In a statement issued to the Italian media on Saturday, Haggis’ Italian lawyer Michele Laforgia noted that the three judges of the appellate court “unanimously rejected the prosecutor’s appeal to have Haggis’ house arrest reinstated.
” Laforgia said he presented “irrefutable and objective evidence” that the woman who accused Haggis told “multiple lies to investigators and the court, with facts and witnesses completely contradicting her story.”Laforgia said unless new evidence is presented to the court, prosecutors will have to close the case against Haggis, something he said he expected to happen in the coming weeks.
