She then went on give details of the alleged assault. The AP reports that Breest testified about a painful and terrifying attack that left her “really struggling to comprehend what had happened.” “I couldn’t understand how somebody who seemed like a nice guy would do that,” she added on the stand. Breest later testified that Haggis told her, “You’ve been flirting with me for months,” the AP reported. She said she replied, “I don’t even know you.” Later, she said today, Haggis made another series of sexual advances that ended with rape.Filed in 2017 as the #MeToo movement was gaining momentum, Breest’s lawsuit alleges ““a shocking and egregious case of rape and sexual assault.” She is seeking unspecified damages.
