This has ties to Haiti and obviously the children there. Yes, he is accused of harassment and 2 cases of rape of adult women. The one bringing the initial lawsuit denies trying to extort money from him. https://theblast.com/paul-haggis-lawsuit-response/
Here is the resignation. http://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/celebrity/canadian-filmmaker-paul-haggis-resigns-from-artists-for-peace-and-justice-amid-sexual-misconduct-allegations/wcm/082742fe-8fc1-4e58-b909-35456a49d041
From all that is coming out he appears to be an obvious sociopath and much is coming out about his lies and manipulations. it is true that he pissed off Scientology but my question is how much did that 'church' cover for him during his 35 years in it. I am not the best researcher so i am posting this on Voat Pizzaagate as we know what the Clinton Foundation got up to there and we know about what has happened to many children there under the auspicious lie of helping them. He connects to many of the dirty Hollywood 'deletes' and one woman commented in one of the articles that she heard more about his abuses in Hollywood than Weinstein's. Throwing it out there and I am fully aware that everyone should be given a fair trial. Innocent until proven guilty but the shit is just racking up up up on him.
p.s. I personally know him to be a liar. However, i am as shocked as anyone by the amount of crap coming up about him.

A very interesting development, and I agree that he displays sociopathic traits. Even before his first rape accusation, he was minimizing and deflecting for Harvey W., possibly massaging the message in case he met the same fate.
Here's his significantly less than full-throated denouncement of Weinstein before he himself was accused: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/21/hollywood-finished-paul-haggis-harvey-weinstein-scandal
"Although everyone thinks it is vile behavior, you have got to focus on those who may have colluded and protected him. For me, they are as guilty as he is and in some cases more so, if I can say that. I mean, he was a predator and a predator is a predator. But what about those who would rather look the other way?"
And his rather dispassionate take on pedophilia in Hollywood from the same article:
"Most of this behaviour has been aimed at women, but I am sure that former child stars such as Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, who have both made allegations in the past that no one took seriously, are worth considering, too.
“Were people covering for paedophiles, too? We have to think that may have happened as well, because no one speaks out about being abused just to benefit their career. I find it particularly terrible that people had their dreams held to ransom in that way.”
Hollywood, Haggis believes, always invites newcomers to sell their souls. “People make compromises, but you don’t have to. I did sometimes, of course, especially in my early TV days..."
Also from the article:
"Haggis does not think sexual harassment and abuse are endemic in Hollywood, but admitted it is a “fairly sexist” town. “It is not an innocent place and never has been."
This guy has both feet on banana peels. If a hard fall does come, the question is whether abused children will factor in. His heavy involvement with kids in a chaotic foreign land with a history of human trafficking does make you wonder. Could he really be a ruthless rapist of women and yet a kind and loving benefactor to vulnerable children in a place like Haiti? We will see what unfolds for Mr. Haggis.
