A woman has sued director Roman Polanski in a Los Angeles court, saying the director raped her when she was a minor in 1973. The woman aired her allegations at a news conference Tuesday. She said Polanski took her to dinner, gave her tequila, and raped her at his home afterward. The woman did not give her name or her age.
The woman aired the allegations, which the 90-year-old Polanski has denied, in a news conference with her attorney, Gloria Allred, on Tuesday.that prompted Polanski in 1978 to flee to Europe, where he has remained since.
“He told her that he wanted to have sex with her,” the lawsuit says. “Plaintiff, though groggy, told Defendant ‘No.’ She told him, ‘Please don’t do this.’ He ignored her pleas. Defendant Polanski removed Plaintiff’s clothes and he proceeded to rape her causing her tremendous physical and emotional pain and suffering.”
A judge has since given the plaintiff approval to use his name in the case. The judge on Friday set a 2025 trial date. In the lawsuit and at Tuesday’s news conference, she did not give her name and said only that she was a minor at the time. She spoke only briefly.
