Controversial director Roman Polanski reunited with Samantha Geimer, the woman he pled guilty to having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor more than 40 years ago.
Geimer was 13 years old at the time Polanski – who was in his 40s – was arrested and charged with rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, providing controlled substances to a minor, and lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under 14.
Following his guilty plea in 1977, Polanski fled the country and became a fugitive, first finding refuge in London and then settling in France.
While Polanski has never stepped foot on U.S. soil or any country that would extradite him to the United States, he has still created films and won the Academy Award for best director in 2002 for "The Pianist."
In the Instagram photo shared from Geimer's private account to Polanski's wife Emmanuelle Seigner's profile, both Roman and Samantha smiled for the camera.
"Thank you Samantha," Emmanuelle captioned the shot with a few heart emojis.
She added David Geimer for the photo credit and tagged the magazine that published a recent chat between Geimer and Seigner.
"Let me be very clear: what happened with Polanski was never a big problem for me," Geimer told Seigner in the French publication per IndieWire. "I didn’t even know it was illegal, that someone could be arrested for it. I was fine, I’m still fine."

“If it feels good do it”...sarc
But it wasn't a snap snap...
Nothing changes.
He still drugged and had sex with a 13 year old. I think that’s what he did.
. It just wasn’t as traumatic for me as everyone would like to believe it was. I was a young sexually active teenager and it was a scary thing, but it was not an uncommon thing. I understood much worse things happened to people. So, I was just not as traumatized as everybody thinks I should have been. I was almost 14. I wasn’t 10.
Whoopie!
Oh. It’s ok then.

It’s not about her. It’s about him.
There is no shortage of talented artists who are also horrible people. Read about some of the Blues Greats some time.
I believe her. She wasn’t messed up by this.
“It’s not about her. It’s about him.”
She shared the photo.
Why was she even at that party. parents??? It’s like Anthony Rapp who accused Kevin Spacey of groping him. He was 3000 miles from home at age 14 at 2am in a NYC penthouse...and his parents allowed it.
She looks like the Cat that ate the canary.
This incident is what she is known throughout Hollywood and Europe for. Now Monica doesn’t feel so bad.
What I mean is that it doesn’t matter if she was OK with it; he’s still a pedophile. I know 13-year-olds sometimes mess around. But it’s a different thing if they mess around with creepy old men.
