- Director Roman Polanski is facing new allegations of sexual assaults. He is set to participate in a civil trial in Los Angeles in 2025, alleging that he raped a young girl in 1973.
- A lady has filed a lawsuit against director Roman Polanski, claiming that he sexually assaulted her in his residence in 1973 when she was a minor. The plaintiff, acting under a California law that extends the time limit for child sexual abuse, went out for dinner with Polanski when she was under the age of 18.
- The plaintiff came forward for the first time in August 2017 during a press conference with Gloria Allred. Polanski, living in exile due to another abuse case from the 70s, was served with the lawsuit in Paris. The trial is scheduled for August 2025.
- Geimer has requested a judge in LA to dismiss the case against the director as he expresses regret over the situation. Polanski, recognized as a creative genius while simultaneously being labeled a sexual offender, remains a controversial figure in the film industry and is currently facing a defamation trial in Paris.
