Hollywood director and screen writer Paul Haggis was found liable in a sexual assault lawsuit on Thursday.
Haggis, known for writing best picture Oscar winners Million Dollar Baby and Crash, was accused by a publicist of compelling her to perform oral sex and raping her after offering her a ride in 2013.
A New York jury ordered Haggis to pay at least USD7.5 million to the publicist, in addition to punitive damages, the amount of which will be decided later.
