Prosecutor demands two-year house detention for Christophe Ruggia for alleged sexual assault of actor when she was a child
A French prosecutor has demanded film-maker Christophe Ruggia be put under house arrest for two years over the alleged sexual assault of actor Adèle Haenel when she was a child, after she walked out of the landmark trial after his denial of any abuse.
Haenel, 35, has accused film-maker Ruggia, 59, of assaulting her in the early 2000s when she was between 12 and 14 and he was in his late 30s, allegations he has called “pure lies”.
