Woman sues Roman Polanski over alleged 1973 sexual assault
A woman filed a civil suit accusing director Roman Polanski of grooming and assaulting her in 1973 when she was under 18. Gloria Allred represents the plaintiff while Polanski denies the claims and remains abroad after a 1978 LA case.
Polanski faces 2025 trial over childhood abuse civil suit
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved naming Roman Polanski in a civil lawsuit filed under a 1990 law expanding claim windows for childhood sexual abuse. The plaintiff, who says she was 16 at the time, seeks unspecified damages with a 2025 trial date set. Polanski denies all allegations and argues the suit rests on an improper law, while noting prior media silence due to initial naming restrictions.
