Filmmaker Carlos Vermut Accused Of Sexual Abuse By Three Women – Report
deadline.comEl País, a Spanish-language newspaper based in Madrid that is the second-largest newspaper in the country, is reporting that filmmaker Carlos Vermut sexually abused three women.
Vermut, winner of the San Sebastián Film Festival’s Golden Shell for the neo-noir movie Magical Girl (2014), said his relationships with his accusers were consensual.
He was interviewed three times by the media outlet, and claimed not to have been “aware of having exercised sexual violence against any woman.” “I have always practiced rough sex in a consensual manner, because I believe that consent is very important,” he said. “It’s another thing if the person… if she later felt bad — and maybe, at the time, was afraid to say it — I can’t know that. “I would like it to be published that I’ve had many relationships of many types, always wanting the other person to be ok.
And I think that having had a promiscuous sexual life — and having had many different types of sex — can lead you to situations like these.” A film student, an employee of one of his productions, and a worker in the cultural sector have reported that the director allegedly took advantage of his prominence in the world of cinema in order to have violent sexual relations with them.
