The Hema Committee Report has encouraged several artists from the film industry to come forward and open up about the sexual assault they faced in the industry and name their perpetrators and initiate legal action. While so far the allegations and cases have been found within the state of Kerala, an actress has now shared her unpleasant experience with a Tamil film director. Popular Malayalam film actress Sowmya has narrated an incident from her college days when she was raped by the director for a year. Recalling the traumatic period, she also said that the director inserted a rod in her genitals for `entertainment`.
In an interview with NDTV, Sowmya spoke about how she was groomed as a sex slave by a married Tamil director. She however, refused to disclose the identity of her perpetrator at this time. She said she would reveal the man`s identity to the special police team formed by the Kerala government, which is investigating multiple cases of alleged sexual assault in Mollywood.
