Three women have claimed to have suffered “sexual violence” by the Spanish filmmaker Carlos Vermouthwinner of the San Sebastin Golden Shell with Magical Girl (2014), according to research published this Friday The Pass.
The director and screenwriter from Madrid responds: “I have always practiced rough sex in a consensual manner,” according to that publication.
A film student, an employee of one of their productions and a worker in the cultural sector have denounced some events that occurred between May 2014 and February 2022in which the director allegedly took advantage of his recognition and position in the cinema to have violent sexual relations that they did not consent to.
One of the women describes that Vermouth “He immobilized her, strangled her and forced her to have sex, “He remembers showing opposition not only verbally but also physically, and explains that he tried to get away with kicks,” the newspaper indicates.
The second, an aspiring director, describes how the filmmaker lunged at her to kiss her and touch her breasts without her consent and how he tore off her bra.
The third, who worked for Lya who had promised, according to her version, a better job, describes an episode in which she was locked in her house after receiving “degrading treatment, both verbal and physical” for months, and a level of violence that he did not consent to in the sexual relations they had.
None of them reported what happened to the police for fear of losing their jobs or not being able to get one.
In statements to El Pas, the director has assured “not having been aware of having exercised sexual violence against any woman” and says he has practiced “hard sex always in a consensual manner“.
“Another thing is that the person at home later felt bad and perhaps at the time was afraid to say it. I can’t know that,” he added.
Vermut, 43 years old, released his debut film, Diamond Flash in 2011 and in 2014 he won the Golden Shell and the award for best direction in San Sebastin for Magical Girl.
His last job, Mantcorais an uncomfortable story about a pedophile man, tormented by his desires.
