A Judge in the city of Lecce, Italy dismissed a sexual assault charges against Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis. Last month, Italian police have arrested Paul Haggis on charges of sexual assault after allegedly forcing a "young woman, known by him from some time ago".
According to a statement issued by Haggis' Italian lawyer Michele Laforgia to Italian News Agency ANSA, the judge found no basis for the court to continue investigating allegations that the Canadian director had sexual relations with an unnamed young woman without consent.
According to the court documents as per Variety,
"After viewing the evidence and hearing arguments from both sides, the District Court of Lecce, an appellate court with three judges, unanimously rejected a prosecutor's appeal to have Haggis' house arrest reinstated,"
