A French prosecutor Tuesday demanded a filmmaker be put under house arrest for two years over sexually assaulting an actor when she was a child, after his accuser stormed out of the landmark trial over him denying the abuse. Adele Haenel, 35, has accused filmmaker Christophe Ruggia, 59, of assaulting her in the early 2000s when she was between 12 and 14 and he was in his late 30s, allegations he has called "pure lies".
