"Do not reverse the roles"

The Italian, who played last June in the clip of Gloria , a title of Indochina, has all the sympathy of Nicola Sirkis. "She was assaulted effectively, violently. Having declared war, she is alone now, "he says.
The singer also deplores the way some victims are treated. "It's as if people who have been sexually assaulted do not have the right to have sex, they have to go back to the convent and close their mouths. We must not reverse the roles, " denounces the artist of 59 years.
She denies the accusations
Invited end of September in an Italian TV show, Asia Argento admitted to having sex with Jimmy Bennett several years ago. But she rejected the story of the young man.
