The 28-year-old alleged victim of sexual assault by Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis " confirmed the content of the complaint without any hesitation and uncertainty ," said the woman's lawyer Claudio Strata after the probative incident.
"After 8 and a half hours she is very tired and exhausted" said the lawyer, replying however "no" to those who asked him if he had had a breakdown: "He asked a couple of times to suspend to have a moment of rest, to get some water and a coffee, he held up very well ".
Haggis also witnessed the woman's story, he did so "with the apprehension of those accused of a serious crime but also with the tranquility of those who are convinced that they have not committed it ", said the lawyer Laforgia, lawyer of the movie director.
“The hearing lasted quite a bit - said Laforgia - evidently because there were many points to be clarified. Some things in our opinion have been clarified, others will probably be clarified in the next few days. Obviously, the crime of sexual violence is a serious crime, on which the investigations must be accurate and we trust that the Prosecutor's Office is doing them and will bring them to an end in a short time ".
The defender said he was " absolutely confident of being able to restore freedom to Paul Haggis in a short time and then to be able to fully clarify this matter ".
