Subject: Roman Polanski Back in the News
Written By: LyricBoy on 03/12/24 at 6:49 pm
Controversial film director Roman Polanski (birth name, Raymond Liebling) is back in the news for… wait for it… accusations of sexually molesting a minor back in 1973.

Four women came forward between 2017 and 2019 accusing Polanski of abusing them in the 1970s – three of them were allegedly minors at the time – including artist Marianne Barnard, who said Polanski sexually assaulted her when she was 10. Charlotte Lewis, a British actor, in 2010 accused Polanski of sexually assaulting her in 1983 when she was 16. Polanski has denied all of the allegations.
Samantha Geimer, who Polanski pleaded guilty to raping, last week asked an LA judge to drop the case against the director. She has said that Polanski regrets what happened. “I would implore you to finally bring this to a close as an act of mercy to myself and my family,” Geimer said.
