UPDATED JUL 18, 2018

'Leon: The Professional' director Luc Besson, as per recent reports, has very categorically denied all claims of ever keeping actress Sand Van Roy as a "sex puppet", let alone continuing to rape her for two straight years. The actress has been involved in a series of high-profile media appearances across France, where she kept claiming to be  "scared of dying" as she allegedly endured "humiliating sex acts" at the hands of Besson.

And now it has come into attention that the director's lawyer, Thierry Marembert, said very specifically in a statement that the film mogul "categorically denies these fantasist accusations," and even added that he would be presenting his evidence in a court of law, and not on TV.
