Mollywood actor Jayasurya, who is facing charges of sexual harassment, has returned from the United States of America.
At the Cochin International Airpot (COK), Jayasurya asserted that he was back to face the accusations legally. He also promised to meet the media very soon along with his lawyer. "I can't explain a lot since the case is in court. The lawyer will soon give a date and on that day we will meet. We will meet for sure," he said.

Refuting to go into any details, the 'Pretam' actor maintained that the allegations against him are fabricated and told the media that "you will understand everything in time."
Earlier this month, he had shared an open letter on social media, thanking those who wished him on his birthday, extended their support and stood by him. He added that he has been in the US for the past month due to personal commitments. "During this time, two false allegations on the grounds of sexual harassment were made against me. Quite naturally, it has shattered me, my family and everyone who has held me close," he said.
Pointing out that false allegations are easy to make for anyone who lacks a conscience, the actor said, "I only hope one realises that facing a false accusation of harassment is just as painful as the harassment itself. A lie always travels faster than the truth but I believe truth will prevail."
Sexual harassment cases against Jayasurya
Two women had filed cases against the popular Malayalam actor accusing him of sexual misconduct. Both of them came forward following the release of the Hema Committee report by the Kerala government.
In the second complaint, the actor had claimed that Jayasurya misbehaved with her at a shooting location in Thodupuzha of Idukki district in Kerala. The complaint was lodged by an actress from Thiruvananthapuram, and it has been transferred to the Thodupuzha police.
The first case against the actor was registered based on the complaint of another female movie artist from Kochi, who alleged that he misbehaved with her near the restroom during a film shoot at the state secretariat. The case was registered under IPC sections 354, 354A, and 509.
