Christophe Ruggia Faces Trial for Alleged Sexual Assaults on Young Actress Adèle Haenel
Filmmaker Christophe Ruggia is on trial in Paris, accused of sexually assaulting actress Adèle Haenel when she was aged 12 to 14. Haenel, now 35, has testified about the trauma and manipulation she experienced during the more than two-year period of alleged abuse, during which Ruggia would invite her over under the guise of friendship. Despite Ruggia’s denials and claims of her accusations being lies, Haenel expresses her continued struggle with the past and her desire to support other child victims of sexual assault.
