New York judge gives Paul Haggis a trial date

So NOW they give Paul Haggis a court date! He's being sued in New York by a publicist he "allegedly" raped in her apartment in 2013 after a premiere. She filed suit in 2017. Haggis wanted to speed up the trial because the delays due to COVID were costing him money and he couldn't go on with his career until it was settled. 

I know I said that thing about Scientology, but Haggis claims this is an extortion attempt. His former "church" is a more plausible villain than a rape victim. You'd think a screenwriter would realize this.

But only now, with Haggis under house arrest in Italy where he's accused of raping yet another woman, do they give him a trial date in New York (October 11th).

I don't know if Haggis is a rapist or if women with whom he's had consensual sex keep accusing him for some reason. Either way, he should do something different. Even if he's innocent, is sleeping with strangers really that great? An Oscar-winning millionaire can't find a girlfriend?
