최고관리자  |  18-08-26 09:27

Italian actor Asia Argento is among the leading activists of the #MeToo movement against sexual abuse in Hollywood. She was one of the first women to publicly accuse film producer Harvey Weinstein of abuse. Now, a young actor and musician says Argento sexually assaulted him. The New York Times reports that Argento recently reached a financial settlement with the accuser, Jimmy Bennett. Bennett, who is 22, reportedly had filed documents describing the claim of assault and his plan to sue Argento. Bennet says Argento had sex with him in a California hotel in 2013. He had just turned 17 years old. Argento was 37 at the time. The age of sexual consent in California is 18. The documents say the experience harmed Bennett mentally and hurt his career, the Times reported.
