London - A Hollywood producer has been charged with multiple sex offences after handing himself into police.
Guillod was accompanied by his lawyer Philip Cohen when he surrendered to police in Santa Barbara, outside Los Angeles, on Monday. He denies all the charges, said Mr Cohen. Santa Barbara prosecutors did not name the complainants on the charge sheet. But Guillod has been publicly accused of sexual assault by actress Jessica Barth, 39, who starred in Ted.
"The next thing I remember is waking up at home with six hickeys [love bites] on my neck," added Miss Barth. "I was horrified. I was completely and utterly confused and I was sick to my stomach."He sent me message after message begging that we talk and letting me know how upset he was and that he couldn’t sleep because of the pit in his stomach."
Another actress is said to have then contacted her with a similar account about Guillod, who stepped down as chief executive of Primary Wave Entertainment soon after.
