Director Roman Polanski is facing a civil trial in 2025 over allegations of raping a girl in 1973 when she was a minor. The trial, set to begin on August 4, 2025, is based on a civil lawsuit filed under a California law allowing claims of childhood sexual abuse after the statute of limitations had expired. The woman, represented by attorney Gloria Allred, seeks justice and accountability, while Polanski denies the allegations. This case follows Polanski's previous criminal sexual assault case in 1977, where he pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor before fleeing the U.S. The upcoming trial will focus on the alleged 1973 incident, with the woman seeking compensation for damages.
