It is a long read and my French isn't great, but it looks like the South African director (Hardware, The Color out of Space etc) has been found innocent of abuse charges, and the people making allegations against him are now themselves facing criminal charges.

That is good news: I've known him for a number of years and I defended him publicly when the allegations were first raised against him. I remember saying that how is it that a filmmaker whose films show women as victors (rather than victims) can all of a sudden be labelled an abuser?
The only creepy thing about him is that he very rarely blinks when he talks to you.
