"Roman Polanski's 1970s Rape Trial Set for 2025 in L.A."

A trial date has been set for a 2023 rape lawsuit against director Roman Polanski, with the plaintiff alleging that he raped her in 1973 when she was underage. The trial is scheduled for August 2025, and the plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, filed the lawsuit under a California law that extends the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse. Polanski's attorneys have denied the claim, and while the director, now 90, is facing a defamation trial in Paris, he is not expected to attend the civil trial in person.

Marilyn Manson Settles Rape Lawsuit, Avoiding Trial

Marilyn Manson has settled a rape lawsuit filed against him by a woman known as Jane Doe, just before the trial was set to begin. The settlement comes after two and a half years of threats, bullying, and intimidation towards the plaintiff. The terms of the settlement are undisclosed. This is the second settlement for Manson this year, following a similar lawsuit by Game of Thrones star Esmé Bianco. More than a dozen women have accused Manson of abuse since actress Evan Rachel Wood came forward with allegations in 2021. One outstanding lawsuit by another Jane Doe, alleging years of grooming and abuse, remains ongoing.

Cuba Gooding Jr. settles civil rape lawsuit before trial.

Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. and his accuser have reached a settlement in the federal civil case against him, which alleged rape in 2013. The trial was set to begin on Tuesday, but was cancelled after the settlement. The accuser had filed the claim under the New York City “Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law” and had sought anonymity. However, a federal judge ruled that she must identify herself in an amended complaint, which led to the case falling apart. Gooding had previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of forcibly touching a woman at a New York City nightclub in 2018.

Trump's Deposition Testimony Reveals Troubling Behavior in Rape Lawsuit.

In a deposition for a rape and defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, former President Donald Trump told her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, that she was not his type and he would never be interested in her. Trump had previously claimed that Carroll was not his type. He also confused Carroll with his ex-wife Marla Maples during the deposition. Carroll had accused Trump of raping her in 1996.

Trump Rape Lawsuit Trial: Lawyer's Tactics Criticized.

Donald Trump's lawyer questioned E. Jean Carroll's decades-old rape claim against the former president, suggesting that her claims strained credulity. Carroll, who is suing Trump over the alleged assault, rebuffed the suggestion that rape victims are supposed to act a certain way, saying such thinking deters women from coming forward. Trump says the encounter never happened, that he doesn’t know Carroll and that she’s not his “type” — comments that are at the heart of the defamation claims in Carroll’s lawsuit. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and a retraction of the comments.

Trump faces rape trial as jury selection begins.

Jury selection has begun in a federal civil court for a lawsuit accusing former President Donald Trump of raping former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll nearly three decades ago in a department store dressing room. Trump denies the allegations. The trial has the potential to be politically damaging for the Republican, as the jury is poised to hear stories of sexual misconduct that rocked his 2016 presidential campaign. The trial also comes a month after he pleaded not guilty in an unrelated criminal case surrounding payments made to bury accounts of alleged extramarital sex. The jurors’ names will be withheld from both the public and the lawyers, to protect them against possible harassment.
