Director has now been accused of assault by four women

Roman Polanski’s sexual assault allegations are back in the spotlight after former German actress Renate Langer reported to Swiss police Tuesday that the “Chinatown” director raped her when she was 15.

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.

I’m somewhat inclined to think that RP needs help. He was married to a woman who many believed to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She was murdered by Manson’s fanatics when she was about 9 months pregnant. Stabbed in her pregnant belly with a fork, if I recall correctly. That had to warp the guy out. Not really an excuse for his following behavior,,,,, maybe. But still, what a horrible thing to endure, eh? He needs help, and people need protection from him too. Horrible situation!

It wasn’t “rape” rape, was it? Whoopi Goldberg, what say you? Seriously, with the poorly kept secret of sexual assaults and pedophilia rampant in show biz, it’s becoming quite clear why more and more of the overpaid mannequins are jumping on the anti-gun bandwagon.

I’ve thought of how the Manson murders might have impacted him, but I believe he was fooling around with other women when he was married to Sharon Tate.

Re: Streep gives Polanski a standing ovation...

Notice that Jack Nicholson is seated next to her.

Polanski committed the Los Angeles rape at Nicholson's house.

Nicholson was also investigated by the Polanski prosecutors, which might explain why Nicholson did not stand up to clap.

Oh that’s RIGHT! Forgot about that! I’m sure Nicholson appreciated that, thanks Roman.

Hollywood is what it is, a cesspool of pedophiles and enablers! Been going on for years but the left likes the cash flow that supports their agenda!!!
