   James Cameron has spoken out about the alleged sexual assault of   
   then-12-year-old actress Eliza Dushku on the set of his 1994 film, "True   
   Lies" -- saying if he had known about it, "there would have been no mercy."   
      
   The allegations came over the weekend from the now-37-year-old actress,   
   who says she was molested by one of the movie’s stuntmen.   
      
   "Obviously, Eliza is very brave for speaking up and I think all the   
   women who are speaking up and calling for a reckoning now," Cameron said   
   Saturday while speaking at a Television Critics Association event in   
   California.   
      
   "I think that has been an endemic through human systems, not just   
   Hollywood, but because Hollywood deals with women who are victims 10,   
   15, 20 years ago who are famous today, so they get to have a louder   
   voice when they come forward," the filmmaker explained. "So bravo to   
   them for doing it. And I am glad Eliza did that."   
      
   Cameron added, "But had I known about, there would have been no mercy. I   
   have daughters. There really would be no mercy now."   
      
   Dushku went public with her allegations Saturday in a lengthy Facebook   
   post.   
   The stuntman whom she accused, Joel Kramer, 60, has denied the claims.   
      
   "This is all vile lies," he told Us Weekly. "I never molested this young   
   woman, ever. Who in their right mind would do that and then still work   
   with someone another six months or seven months or however long we had   
   left to work together, wouldn't that be a little weird?"   
      
      
           Damned shame it has only come to light now. I understand how scared   
   Eliza ( and the myriad of other young women) would have been, wanting to   
   tell what happened , but uncertain that she (they) would be believed.   
      
           Just a goddamned shame!!
