"Roman Polanski to Stand Trial for 1970s Rape of Minor"
Roman Polanski, currently on trial in France for sexual assault claims, is facing a trial in the United States next year over allegations of raping a minor in 1973. The 90-year-old director, a longtime fugitive from American justice, received papers at his Paris home for the upcoming trial. The plaintiff's lawyer revealed the trial date as August 4, 2025, and stated their intention to depose Polanski. This comes amidst a lawsuit filed by a woman who alleges Polanski raped her at his L.A. home in 1973, causing her "tremendous physical and emotional pain and suffering." Polanski has denied the allegations, except for the case involving Samantha Geimer, for which he was convicted in 1978.
