Gloria Allred Debuts New Accuser of Roman Polanski, Who Claims He Sexually Assaulted Her When She Was 16
On one hand, this is a very long time to make a claim, and also: this is Gloria Allred.
On the other hand, pedophiles rarely strike just once.
Although the first girl Polanski raped has called for the case to be dropped against him, Allred and this new accuser are arguing against that.
Attorney Gloria Allred held a press conference in Los Angeles Tuesday to introduce another person who claims she was sexually assaulted by film director Roman Polanski when she was a minor.
The woman, who identified herself only as Robin, said that Polanski sexually victimized her in 1973 when she was 16-years-old....
“While we understand that Ms. Geimer would like this case to end, Robin and I feel that it is very important that Mr. Polanski returns to court in California to be sentenced," said Allred in her press conference. "Any other defendant who is not rich and famous would be required to be present for a sentencing proceeding on a conviction for a felony committed against a child."
Gloria Allred held a press conference? How out-of-character.
