01) Asia Argento Settled With Sexual Assault Accuser Last Year (Report)
Thanks to feinmann0!
“Leading #MeToo advocate Asia Argento settled an accusation of sexual assault from former child actor.
Argento was one of the 13 women included in the first October 2017 New Yorker report about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment and assault that dated back decades.
…
According to documents obtained by the New York Times, leading #MeToo advocate Asia Argento settled an accusation of sexual assault from former child actor and musician Jimmy Bennett for the sum of $380,000 to be paid over the course of a year and a half.
The claim and resulting discussions of payment are included in documents between the lawyers for Argento and Bennett. The claim states Bennett was a little over 17 years old at the time of the alleged assault, which took place in a California hotel room in 2013 when Argento was 37. The legal age of consent in California is 18.
As part of the agreement, Bennett, who is now 22, gave a selfie of he and Argento in bed and its copyright to Argento, now 42. Three people familiar with the case told the New York Times that the documents were authentic.”
I already offered a few personal thoughts about this, a couple days back…
…But I’d also like to add, that hypocritical cases and antics like these, remind me of the old saying…
…”And this is why nobody else, can ever have anything nice!”
