If she is legit, I hope that she has received whatever help she has needed throughout these years.
If she is legit, I wish she had used a different lawyer... I can't stand Gloria.
I suppose it is possible the woman is telling the truth. But, this is years later, and 4 years after she alleges she was attacked by Polanski, she appeared in his movie.
That certainly could be the reason as to why some might be suspicious of her story. Most people probably think they would not go and work for someone who attacked them.
I just can't think what she would have to gain. With the current support that the pedophile Polanski has from all the celebritards in Hollyweird - (I mean really, they worship him) I'm sure she knows her career is over. Who is going to hire her now? She probably kept quiet all these years because she was afraid of being called a liar.
I don't buy it, why wait all these years, she had the prefect opportunity when he was arrested in the other case, and she was of consensual age. You think she would have come forward during the years he was on the run from the 13 year old's trial . That child was put through a lot. I would like to hear Polanski's side of the story also.
The legal age of consent in France is 15.
Wait, what? I think what this women is alleging is that there was no consent. If the legal age of consent is 18, and a 30 year old woman is raped, does that make it ok? I'm not sure I follow what you're saying.The legal age of consent in France is 15.
I have no idea. I'm sure we'll hear more about this on Monday. Allred will certainly keep this story alive for awhile anyway. lol.But why did she work for him on his movie after she says he had assaulted her?

well, I have no idea whether her story is true or not, but in terms of why would she work for him four years after the assault, perhaps she was in denial about it or needed the money or was avoiding the confrontation about it ...
human nature is strange that way - things happen that we think we wouldn't tolerate but stigma and social pressure and fear and a host of other awkward feelings cause us sometimes to pretend that nothing is wrong
one such case that illustrates my point is the hockey player Sheldon Kennedy, who was sexually abused by his coach but continued to play for him
I will believe her until and if it is proven otherwise. JMHO.
FWIW, I, myself, seperate the individaual and the artist. I do not take into consideration the individual's art when I look a them when they are accused or convicted of a crime. JMHO and that's just me.
I do hope that that this will not prove to be a where there is smoke there is fire sort of scenario---where if Polanski did indeed molest and forcibly rape one or more women while they were teens that many more have not spoken up.
Sort of off topic.
You know there is a word for adults that are sexually attracted to pubescents. Almost to the exclusion of any other partner. I can't for the life of me remember that term (or remember if it is a legal or medical term) anyone else remember that word? Given the ages of his alleged victims I think that term would be more appropriate than pedophilia. thanks in advance to anyone that can nudge my memory as to what term is.![]()
