President of the US Film Academy John Bailey, who headed the presidency last August, is under investigation after several accusations of sexual harassment, the "Snidanku 1 + 1".

Now the investigation of the case has begun and if the facts of harassment are confirmed, Bailey will be removed from office.

The Academy reported that it received complaints from Bailey from three women and issued a statement in which it stated that "it will consider any complaints in confidence to protect all parties". The Academy also warned that there will be no new applications until the end of the investigation.

The investigation of incidents takes place in closed mode. Who and how the 75-year-old Bailey was at home - the film academy promised to voice after the final completion of the investigation, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Comment on the situation flatly refuses and the very figure of the sex scandal.

Note that John Bailey became famous for his work in such films as "Ordinary People", "American Gigolo", "Big Cold" and "Groundhog Day". In 2014, Bailey won the American Society of Cinematographers Award for Achievement in Life.

Recall that in October last year, the Academy has deprived of membership in the panel of judges of the Oscar Award by producer Harvey Weinstein, who was accused of sexual harassment. He became the second who was expelled from the academy for the entire 90-year history of the existence of the film award.
