PARIS, Jan 15 — French police on Monday questioned a film director accused by star actress Adele Haenel of assaulting her while she was an underage teenager, prosecutors said yesterday, in a case that has rocked the French cinema industry. Haenel lodged a formal complaint against Ruggia in November after accusing him in an interview that month of sexually harassing her between the ages of 12 and 15., her first film role, of repeatedly touching and kissing her.
But she won support from some of the top names of French cinema including the actress Marion Cotillard, who hailed Haenel for “breaking a silence that was so heavy.”
