According to The New York Times, the 61-year-old Langer claims the assault occurred at a house in Gstaad in February 1972. She is the fourth woman to accuse Polanski of assault. Polanski’s lawyer, Harland Braun, has declined comment.

Wow, that was the day she was raped, probably. That is the hot tub where he drugged her with alcohol and quaaludes.

Sad.

I’m sure she enjoyed being drugged and assraped by an old creep. Little girls always seem to crave that.

I knew back then in sunset strip clubs that those three guys came in LOOKING for young girls. (Polanski, Beatty, Nicholson)

LOL!

I have Star Wars Episode II (Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor) on low volume right behind me, on TNT, I think.

Love that franchise!

Over the last few years, however, I feel like the first three films (Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher) have not aged well.

The ancient film technology is one problem, but there are also weaknesses in the acting and the writing that I really had not noticed before.

A couple of more seasons of crappy box office and these people will simply self destruct.

If it was “okay” back then, why did they hide it?

Everybody is accusing everybody of rape in Hollywood. I can’t keep up.

Half a century later, huh. Did the cost of apple sauce go up at the nursing home so she thought an interview or two would keep her stocked?

People are more open about this today. Sge probably worried it would ruin her career back then. She won’t get anything now - she can’t sue RP. So many peoole like him, it wiil probably be worse for her.

It wasn’t “rape” rape, was it? Whoopi Goldberg, what say you?

I am still not clear on the definition of "rape" rape.

Perhaps if I were an underaged teen, I might understand it a bit better.

She was murdered by Manson’s fanatics when she was about 9 months pregnant

Helter Skelter....

Isn't this guy up for parole every so often? He must never see the light of day. Shannon Tate was a beautiful young woman and did not deserve that ending.

Yeah, the whole Hollywood culture that breed this kind of stuff going on is sick. If memory serves I think her mother was a bit of a “stage mom” , leaving a daughter with an adult male - especially in that culture - is just idiotic.

I sympathize with his loss but fail to see how raping teenagers could make him feel better.
