According to the British Guardian News on June 19, Italian news media said that local prosecutors said that Oscar's award -winning director Paul Hagis was accused of sexually assaulted a woman in southern Italy, and the authorities had detained it on Sunday.

Paul Hargis is 69 years old and is a well -known Canadian director, producer and screenwriter.

In 1987, he served as the screenwriter and producer of the TV series "Thirty Story", and won the 40th Emmy Award Drama Episode -the Best Screenwriter Award for the drama.

In 2004, he directed the criminal film "Cangel", and he was also the main screenwriter of this film. "Cangel" later won the Oscar Best Original Script Award. He then wrote a script for "Millions of dollars", "007's quantum crisis" and "Royal Casino", and directed "Isra Vehicle" and "The Face of the Future".

It is reported that Hargis has participated in a film festival in Italy for the past few days. The film festival will be held in Ostini, Pipia on Tuesday. The region is located in the "heel" of the Italian boots -shaped peninsula.

The Italian prosecutor said Hargis had sexually assaulted a woman. After two days of non -voluntary sexual relationship, the woman was sent to Brindsi Airport by Hagis and left there. At that time, the airport staff and the police noticed that her physical and psychological conditions were very unstable. The woman finally sought medical services.

At present, the woman formally filed a lawsuit, and the investigators were subsequently confirmed. But they did not disclose her nationality and age.

Facing sexual assault charges, Hargis's lawyer Prea Jolouri issued a statement saying that the director was "completely innocent."

"According to Italian laws, I cannot discuss these evidences according to Italian laws. Nevertheless, I believe that all allegations against Mr. Hargis will be rejected because he is completely innocent. The authorities work to quickly find out the truth. "

The film festival immediately issued a statement saying that when learning the news of Paul Hargis was detained for suspicion of violence, the organizer was deeply surprised and regretful. They would immediately cancel all the director's itinerary and support the women involved in the case. Essence
