Spanish actor Gabriel Guevara has been arrested at the Venice Film Festival following an alleged sexual assault in France.
The 22-year-old star, famous for his role in Amazon Prime’s ‘My Fault’ teen movie franchise, was apprehended by Italian authorities during the festival the day before where he was to receive an award.
Variety, which broke the news, said no further details regarding the assault or arrest have been provided at this time.
Gabriel was due to receive the Best Young Actor award from Filming Italy and was the subject of an international arrest warrant.
He is currently being held under protective custody by Italian police and the appeals court will rule on his case before extradition proceedings can begin.
Filming Italy canceled the award when it learned of the arrest, which it called a “precautionary measure” pending the outcome of the case.
The group has no connection with the main Venice film festival and stands on the fringes of it.
The Venice Film Festival said in a statement “Following the articles that appeared on various websites regarding the arrest of the Spanish actor Gabriel Guevara in Venice, the Biennale clarifies that his presence in Venice was not linked to events or productions related to the 80th Venice Film Festival”.
