Film director Paul Haggis appeared in Italian court Wednesday amid a police investigation into a woman's allegations Haggis had non-consensual sex with her over two days.
Prosecutors announced Sunday that police had detained the Canadian-born director, screenwriter and producer for investigation of alleged aggravated sexual violence and aggravated personal injuries.
State TV and other Italian media said the alleged victim is a 30-year-old Englishwoman who had known Haggis before he came to the tourist town of Ostuni to participate in an arts festival.
