French actress alleges director's abuse as 12-year-old

French actress Adele Haenel has accused director Christophe Ruggia of abusing her when she was 12 years old, saying she was subjected to 'permanent sexual harassment' and 'forced kisses in the neck' by the much-older man

In a long interview with French investigative website Mediapart, the 30-year-old actress said she was subjected to"permanent sexual harassment" and"forced kisses in the neck" by the much-older man. She hasn't filed a formal complaint.

"He was an adult man of nearly 40 who every Saturday got himself into a room with a young girl who was between 12 and 15 and tried to touch her up." "It may sound weird but it's common in the cinema. In the film world the director is deeply connected with his actor or actress. He falls in love," the director's lawyer Jean Pierre Versini told CNN.
