Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis will be allowed to argue that the Church of Scientology is behind a rape allegation against him, a judge in New York has ruled.
In legal preparations for the New York trial, Breest was denied permission to bring up the Italian allegations against Haggis.
Breest never took her allegations against Haggis to law enforcement for a criminal investigation, saying she feared police wouldn’t believe her.
The judge in the criminal case against Masterson has indicated she allowed some discussion of the church into evidence.
