SEXUAL VIOLENCE – “ You have to see the violence of hearing all these lies accumulated by a man who sexually assaulted the child I was. » This Monday, December 16, Adèle Haenel was on the microphone of Inter, where she returned to the trial of Christophe Ruggia, as shown in the video at the top of the article.

« I tried to hold on, to give as much concrete and material elements as possible [au tribunal]. And he talks nonsense », recalls the actress, during an interview with Sonia Devillers. A leading figure in French #MeToo, she lost her patience on the second day, in a frosty atmosphere and said out loud: “ But shut up! » to Christophe Ruggia, before storming out of the courtroom of the criminal court, Tuesday, December 10.

That day, five years in prison, including two prison sentences, were requested against the director for sexual assault on a minor under 15 years old. It was also required that Christophe Ruggia be included in the file of perpetrators of sexual offenses and that he be prohibited from entering into contact with the victim, whom he must also compensate.

“Aggression too many”

« The aggression too much was when he said “Adèle Haenel, I gave her her name”. It's not true, it's false, it's a lie. And it's more violence », continues the actress on France Inter, this Monday. Before adding: “ For me, it takes me back to when I was on his couch and he said to me: “Without me, you are nothing.” It's the same thing he did there. It is his violence and his arrogance. That's what made me lose my temper. »

The affair was revealed in 2019 by a long investigation by Mediapart. In this one, Adèle Haenel denounced the influence of the director, little known to the general public, during the preparation and shooting of the film The Devils, in the summer of 2001. Then a “ permanent sexual harassment »of the ” touching » repeated and “ forced kisses on the neck »which would have taken place at his home and at several international festivals.

Initially refusing to take legal action, the French cinema star finally filed a complaint a few days after the opening of a preliminary investigation by the Paris prosecutor's office on November 6, 2019. ” I spoke because it had become impossible to remain silent,” she explained on the first day of the trial. The court will deliver its decision on February 3.
