Motion Picture Association Fires GC After Rape Allegations and Arrest
Steven Fabrizio, a high-level executive at the Motion Picture Association of America, has been fired by the organization following his arrest on charges he sexually abused and blackmailed a woman he contacted through an online dating service for “sugar daddies,” reports the Los Angeles Times.
The MPAA’s senior executive vice president and global general counsel for the MPAA was arrested Aug. 23 after the woman told Washington, D.C., police he coerced her into sex by threatening her, according to a report filed by the officers, writes the Times‘ Ryan Faughnder.
The MPAA is the lobbying arm of film studios Walt Disney Co., Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures and Netflix.
