Attorneys delivered closing arguments about the 2013 encounter ahead of jury deliberations, which begin Thursday.
By Haggis’ account, he’s fighting a false claim by a show-business publicist who took a shine to an Oscar winner, signaled interest for months and was a partner — by turns hesitant and eager — in a consensual encounter.
Breest, now 36, and Haggis, 69, met while she was moonlighting as a staffer at movie premieres in New York. They chatted at events and exchanged emails, interactions that he sees as flirtatious feelers but she says were a typical public relations person’s efforts to build rapport. Shortly after they arrived, he went to kiss her. And after that, their accounts and characterizations of the night and its aftermath diverge substantially.
