Sand Van Roy

In May 2018, during a period marked by the Harvey Weinstein case, she filed a complaint against Luc Besson for rape; Luc Besson's lawyer, Thierry Marembert, stated that the director "still denies the charges brought against him". Legal proceedings later acquitted Besson. In April 2021, the Mail Online recognized that publishing three articles in 2018 and 2019 revealing Sand Van Roy’s name and complaint against Luc Besson was a breach of her privacy. They also recognized that she never mentioned being drugged. They "offered to pay compensation and legal costs, and apologized to her for the distress caused." == Activism ==

In May 2019, she protested the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'honneur being given to Alain Delon by walking the red carpet with a temporary tattoo that read "Stop violence against women". In 2020, Van Roy became an ambassador of the foundation Stichting Cassandra, which defends the interests of victims of sexual and psychological violence. == Filmography ==
