Another woman accuses Polanski of rape. The director denies everything

Roman Polañski denies the accusations of rape that allegedly took place in 1973 in the USA. The woman accused the director of getting her drunk and then committing a prohibited act when she was still a minor. The credibility of the alleged victim’s testimony was questioned by Polański’s lawyer, stating that she did not have sufficient evidence to confirm this version of events.

The incident allegedly took place in 1973 after a party at which he first gave the minor alcohol and then suggested she go to a restaurant. A woman referred to in the media as “Jane Doe” (her real name was not made public) testified that when they arrived, the director ordered two shots of tequila for her. Too much alcohol made the girl feel bad. Polanski took her to his house, then undressed her and raped her. According to the woman’s testimony, the director knew that she was a minor, and she allegedly begged him to leave her alone.

The director denied the woman’s accusations. In turn, his lawyer invoked the statute of limitations for the case. He also stated that the statements were not supported by any evidence in the case, so they could be easily undermined. Polañski’s legal representative also filed a motion to dismiss the case without the possibility of reopening it.

The incident described by “Jane Doe” allegedly took place 4 years before charges were brought in connection with the rape of then 13-year-old Samantha Geimer, and the director himself fled the United States. However, there were more accusations against Polański. It is known that at least three or four teenagers were raped by the director. The first was to be Renate Langer, a German actress who testified that the incident took place in Gstaad in 1972, when she was 15 years old. The next victim was Marianne Barnard, whom the director allegedly raped when she was only 10 years old. In the same year (1975), Polanski also allegedly raped Valentine Monnier, a French photographer. Charlotte Lewis, a British actress, also talked about similar experiences with the director.
