Actress Rose McGowan, who’s serious allegations against Harvey Weinstein was a catalyst for the #MeToo movement, condemned fellow #MeToo leader Asia Argento over her own sexual assault scandal.
Sarah Taylor, of TheBlaze, explains:
Argento, who also made rape claims against Weinstein, stands accused of sexually assaulting a child actor when she was 37 years old and he was just 17. The age of consent in California is 18 years old.
…
In a lengthy statement, McGowan revealed that she’d received more information on the background of Bennett’s allegations against Argento, and said that the story was even more disturbing than initially reported.
McGowan wrote that Argento reportedly told McGowan’s partner, Rain Dove, in a text message that Bennett had been sending nude photographs of himself since he was 12 years old.
Argento also reportedly told Dove that she did, in fact, have sex with Bennett when he was just 17 years old. According to McGowan, Argento did not tell Bennett to stop, block him, or report the incidents to authorities.
McGowan added that there are even more shocking details to the conservation but is unable to reveal them due to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. investigation of the alleged incident.
