Paul Haggis arrives at court to face claims he raped publicist in his apartment in 2013

Canadian movie producer, Paul Haggis is in court in New York City today to fight claims he raped a publicist in 2013.  

The Oscar-winner is being sued by Haleigh Breest, 36, a Manhattan publicist who says he attacked her in his apartment after a premiere for the movie Side Effects. 

Breest was 26 at the time and Haggis, now 69, was nearly 60.  She claims he brought her back to his apartment for a ‘drink’ then forced her to perform oral sex on him and raped her.
