Roman Polanski's victim releases memoir with provocative cover photo
Toronto Sun ^ | July 24, 2013 | WENN.com

Filmmaker Roman Polanski’s teenage sex victim is set to stir up controversy by using a photo the director allegedly took of her to illustrate her upcoming memoirs.

Samantha Geimer’s The Girl features a cover portrait of the 13 year old taken less than three weeks before her sex encounter with Polanski at a Hollywood party in 1977.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter the shot was taken by Polanski himself during a photoshoot with Geimer at her Woodland Hills, California home, and it featured in a batch of material her lawyer demanded the filmmaker hand over to his client during a civil trial a decade after the director fled to Europe in 1978 in a bid to avoid sentencing.

Geimer was back in the headlines in 2009 when Polanski was detained by Swiss police at Zurich Airport in relation to his outstanding U.S. arrest warrant. Swiss authorities threatened to extradite the director and placed him under house arrest. In July, 2010, the Swiss court rejected the U.S. request and released Polanski from custody.

Throughout his arrest and detention drama, Geimer insisted she had forgiven the filmmaker for what he did to her.

The difference is that Jerry Sandusky was not a Holocaust survivor who had the nerve to have his family slaughtered in the Land of the Free by our own peace loving hippies!

Your comment: "As dumb as she is ugly."

DAMN! I almost mouthed off to you for saying that about a 13 year old up who was against that pig.

However, you meant it about "Whoopi" Goldberg!

Right!

I was thinking “What picture is he looking at?”

And I know a sentence is something you should never end a preposition with.

What are the numbers of survivors who became child rapists? How many people who have family members killed, anally rape children?

I don't know Sandusky’s background as a child. Do your?

Not that it matters.

Give us more of the gory details which we’ve never heard of and you and other obsessives seem to derive so much pleasure of recalling!

If you have such a delicate constitution maybe you should avoid threads about child rapists.

He took off and hooked back up with Nastassja Kinski, who he allegedly began a romantic relationship with when she was 15

i would guess not. not too many 13 year olds want to have sex with guys 20+ years older than them. if they are sexually active the guy is a lot closer to their age.

You’re quite right that Polanski had an horrific childhood and adult life and she was a sexually active 13 year old supposedly

And he was 40 something

Its still quite wrong.....I think some laws regarding 18 year old boy with 15-17 year old girls are draconian

But 13....that is pure pederasty or even pedophilia if she is pre mense

And lest we forget it all happened under Jack Nicholson roof

Polanski is obviously disturbed

Geimer says she forgives him....fwiw

In 2009:

Would have been a reasonably sound investment.

Quate from a site: "If screen nudity was an Olympic sport then Nastasja would be a Gold medal winner."

Are you thinking of Natasha Hastings?
