Samantha Geimer gives her first-hand account of the 1977 incident in which Roman Polanski, a famous Hollywood director, held a photo shoot with Geimer (then Samantha Gailey) and had "unlawful sex" with her. Samantha Geimer was 13 years old and hoped to be an actress at the time. Polanski had invited Geimer to pose in a photo shoot, supposedly for a French edition of Vogue, and gave the young girl champagne and quaalude before engaging in multiple sexual acts with her. Polanski accepted a plea bargain to change rape charges to the lesser charge of "unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor", then subsequently fled to France. In 2009, Polanski was arrested in Switzerland at the request of U.S. authorities, but was subsequently released in 2010. Samantha Geimer is now 48, married with three sons, and wrote about her experience in March 1977. Roman Polanski was a major Polish film director, producer, writer, and actor. He became a naturalized French citizen in 1976. He is now 80 years old and still directing.
