paris - The French film director Luc Besson (59) has been charged with rape by a 27-year-old woman. French media report that. The woman reported Friday, but that was only known Saturday night.

The woman, who has not yet revealed her identity, says that she and Besson are acquainted and have worked together in two films. The director would have drugged the woman and then raped while she was unconscious.

Besson contradicts the allegation. According to a lawyer, 'Besson fell from his chair of surprise' when he heard about the charges. Besson acknowledges that he knows the woman, but denies anything else. The director is best known for the films The Fifth Element, Lucy, Taken and I Love You Phillip Morris.

The Italian actress Asia Argento, who accused the American film producer Harvey Weinstein for sexual violence, has said that more abusers will be unmasked. She alluded to the fact that there would be people sitting there that attended the film festival in Cannes on Saturday evening at the closing ceremony of the film festival in the French city, where she made her statement. She did not mention names.

Argento accuses Weinstein of raping her during the Cannes Film Festival in 1997. The actress was then 21 years old. According to Weinstein, Argento agreed with sexual contact at the time. She received an ovation for her final remark: 'Even this evening, there are those who are responsible for their behavior against women. You know who you are, but the most important thing is that we know who you are, and we will no longer allow you to get away with it. '
