3rd woman comes forward to accuse Roman Polanski of sexual assault

August 16, 2017 23:21

"The day after it happened, I did tell one friend that Polanski had done that to me," the woman, identified as Robin, said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The reason, with this exception, that I kept it to myself is that I didn't want my father to do something that might cause him to go to prison for the rest of his life."

The alleged victims lawyer remained tight-lipped about the details of case, but said that it had occurred in southern California.

The director of "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" was previously accused of drugging Geimer when she was 13 before raping her at Jack Nicholson's house in Los Angeles in 1977 while the film star was away.

Robin on Tuesday said that she was "infuriated" that Geimer had forgiven Polanksi and asked in June for the case to be closed.
