Geimer was 13 in 1977 was she was the victim of Polanski's admitted sexual predation.
“He said he did it; he pled guilty; he went to jail. I don’t know what people want from him,” she said....
Polanski apologized to Geimer in a 2011 documentary — and Geimer says she thinks he is sincere. She even sees herself as one of his supporters.
“We somehow ended up on the same side,” she explained. “Things have to go pretty wrong for them to end up this way.”

First 4 out of every 3 college women are raped and now this.
Oh, OK, so this was a civil case, not a criminal one. Roman Polanski did not commit a crime; he just did something wrong to a 13-year-old girl.
Go away, you stupid woman.
As Whoopi says, "It wasn't Rape Rape".
To paraphrase: What did she expect? Her mother took her over there for her "career". So what if she was drugged / drunk.
You know, all those things that are wrong only if done by a conservative.
Note, she is younger that those collage girls that are still [apparently] too young to be involved in sex unless "yes means yes" rules are in affect.
If the left did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all...
Umm, he went to jail for 6 weeks for drugging and anally raping a 13-year old.
6 weeks.
Sad she values herself so lowly, but hey, not my problem.
Nice to know people expecting punishment for somebody anally raping a child are going "too far" in her eyes. I bet if they littered, she'd be all for punishment.
It's important to remember how many people who are now crying that women are paid less than men defended a man who drugged and anally raped a child.
I'm sure she wants closure as well.
You can't spend your entire life carrying a mattress around with you. It causes back problems.
I wonder if she was rooting for him to win Best Director for "The Pianist" in 2003?
What if he stated that global warming wasn't a man-made phenomena?
I agree with Gusty Winds. It says good things about her if she has been able to move on. I think our society in general should be more supportive of moving on, and less supportive of prolonged wallowing.
He got away with doing something dastardly. A fair number of dastardly things happened to him. Sometimes the scales tilt your way. Sometimes they don't.. The moral here is that there is no moral here.
Good for her for moving on and apparently not allowing it to ruin her life. Doesn't have anything to do with whether or not he should be brought back and held to account for his crime.
Liberals- you're under no obligation to demonstrate hypocrisy on every issue.
"Doesn't have anything to do with whether or not he should be brought back and held to account for his crime."
-- Without a victim, at this point I don't know if you'd even be able to get a conviction. But, I hope that other criminals don't take the message "if I make art that people like, I can rape little girls," to heart.
I wonder what fraction of the women who want Owen Labrie to die in prison think that nice Mr Polanski has suffered enough.
"“He said he did it; he pled guilty; he went to jail. I don’t know what people want from him,” she said...."
He was held for psychological evaluation. He absconded before he was sentenced. I am sure that the time he was held would have counted as days served. What people want is for a guy who pleaded guilty, to serve his sentence.
I thought he was contesting his confession?
Diamondhead said, "Good for her for moving on and apparently not allowing it to ruin her life."
She could shut her trap about it. Maybe take a course or two at a community college. Maybe just shut her trap.
Monica still loves Bill Clinton. So that means Hillary should be president, right?
Juanita Broderick was not asked to comment.
While Polanski's victim may want closure, his crime was committed against both her and society. What is the statute of limitations on rape... rape-rape prosecution for an unrepentant child molester?
No offense to this lady but her opinion on the matter is worth zilch. First, Polanski was accused of statutory rape, meaning even if she consented to sex with him when she was 13 and ever since then never considered it rape, he is still guilty. We can argue about whether statutory rape laws are arbitrary and abused, but a 13 year old can simply not consent to sex with a 30+ year old man (and if he used drugs or alchohol to help make her more pliant, then all the worse). He should have served his time, and shame on any country providing him refuge.
And any idiot defending him because "she wanted it" and "she has no ill will towards him now" should keep their monstrous thoughts to themselves.
The issue isn't whether he should be prosecuted - he was prosecuted and fled his punishment.
Has anyone asked Bill Cosby or Owen Labrie how they stand on this issue?
If only Cosby had fled to Europe for a few decades. All would be forgiven. D.GOOCH

Or if there was video of him saying "G*D D*MN America!".
Well..if he has a family and everything...
Orwell on Salvador Dali - and in response to his defenders who said that he shouldn't be held to normal standards or behavior - is worth repeating here:
"The artist [Dali's defenders argue] is to be exempt from the moral laws that are binding on ordinary people. Just pronounce the magic word “Art,” and everything is O.K.: kicking little girls in the head is O.K. . . . It is also O.K. that Dali should batten on France for years and then scuttle off like rat as soon as France is in danger. So long as you can paint well enough to pass the test, all shall be forgiven you.
One can see how false this is if one extends it to cover ordinary crime. In an age like our own, when the artist is an altogether exceptional person, he must be allowed a certain amount of irresponsibility, just as a pregnant woman is. Still, no one would say that a pregnant woman should be allowed to commit murder, nor would anyone make such a claim for the artist, however gifted. If Shakespeare returned to the earth to-morrow, and if it were found that his favourite recreation was raping little girls in railway carriages, we should not tell him to go ahead with it on the ground that he might write another King Lear."
Has Woody Allen weighed in this?
"First thing we do is kill all the lawyers. Second comes all the artists.
Then we will figure out the rest on our own."
--Pol Pot
So what she's saying is the moral of the story is,
If some bigwig condescends to use your mucous membranes for his pleasure, for heaven's sake keep shut about it and be raped like a good little victim! Especially if you get a payoff.
