Roman Polanski Rape Victim Samantha Geimer Speaks Out

Atlanta, GA 9/28/2009 03:49 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

Days after Roman Polanski was arrested in Switerzland on an outstanding U.S. arrest warrant, his rape victim Samantha Geimer is speaking out. Geimer says she is trying to get the LAPD to drop the charges against the iconic film director, who plead guilty to raping her in 1977 when she was 13-years-old. Before he was sentenced, Polanski fled the country and has not returned since.

“I have survived, indeed prevailed, against whatever harm Mr. Polanski may have caused me as a child. I got over it a long time ago,” says Geimer, now a 45-year-old wife and mother of three.

Geimer says she hopes the media’s interest in the story will die down if the statutory rape charges against Polanski are dropped. “True as they may be, the continued publication of those details causes harm to me, my beloved husband, my three children and my mother,” she adds.

Polanski, 76, was due to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland when he was arrested Saturday on the outstanding warrant. The Swiss Federal Department of Justice and Police say the decision to extradite Polanski, a French citizen, to the United States is subject to judicial procedure.

Earlier this year, a California judge demanded the Oscar-winning director return to America to apply for dismissal of the case.

Polanski, who was married to Sharon Tate when she and their unborn child were murdered by the Manson family in 1969, is currently married to French actress Emmanuelle Seigner.
