Haifa film fest blasted for awarding prize to actor accused of assaulting women
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWomen’s rights groups and politicians express outrage over actor Moshe Ivgy having been awarded Best Actor accolades by the Haifa International Film Festival for his role in the film “The 90 Minute War.”
The veteran stage, film and television actor was accused by at least 15 women of sexual harassment earlier this year.
Police said at the time that they had amassed sufficient evidence to prosecute Ivgy for sex crimes.
He has yet to be formally charged with any crime, though.
