On the Polanski discussion, the woman in the case gave an interview recently to Polanski's wife - https://www.yahoo.com/news/roman-pol...231258638.html

"Let me be very clear: What happened with Polanski was never a big problem for me,” Geimer told Seigner in a translated version of the interview obtained Monday by The Times. “I didn’t even know it was illegal, that someone could be arrested for it. I was fine, I’m still fine. The fact that we’ve made this [a big deal] weighs on me terribly. To have to constantly repeat that it wasn’t a big deal, it’s a terrible burden.”

Geimer told Seigner that she "was not a child at 13" and said what happened between her and Polanski wasn't that shocking because many people were having an illicit relationships with minors at the time.

"At the time, a whole bunch of teenage girls would have dreamed of ending up in Jack Nicholson's house to have sex with the first guy they could get their hands on," Geimer said.

She told Seigner that the 2009 extradition attempt was "so unfair and so in opposition to justice."

"Everyone should know by now that Roman has served his sentence. Which was … long, if you want my opinion," she said in the translated article, adding that the filmmaker had "paid his debt to society" already.

The mother of three grown sons also opened up about the case in her 2013 memoir, “The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski.” She recounted her version of the alleged events in the book and said she feels more wounded by what she calls the “victim industry”: the lawyers, judge and journalists whom she feels sensationalized her case for their own interests.

“You shouldn’t be able to make what happened to me worse so it’s more interesting,” Geimer told The Times then. “You’re put upon to feel bad and be a victim so other people can use you as they see fit.”

She reiterated that view with Seigner.

"I persevere, but the fact is people don't want to hear the truth when it doesn't fit their purpose," she said.

Geimer said that she was not very optimistic about the media's perspective changing.

"I've been trying to get people to listen to me for a long time. And it looks like things are only getting worse," she said, to which Seigner replied, "We have to change things, it has to be. We are two now. we are stronger."
