Roman Polanski: Robin M., Renate Langer
Since August this year, 2 other women, besides Samantha Geimer and Charlotte Lewis, have publicly accused the famous movie director Roman Polanski of sexually abusing them when they were underage in the 1970s.
First some more information about the Samantha Geimer case...
In his autobiography, Roman, Polanski speaks openly about having sex with 15-year-old girls as a grown man. In 1979, Polanski said:
In 1979, Polanski pleaded guilty to statutorily raping then-13-year-old Samantha Geimer (née Samantha Gailey).
Polanski first gave her Champaign and then part of a Quaalude and urged her to go into the Jacuzzi and take off her underwear. He took a few pictures, before taking off his clothes and joining her.
According to Polanski:
During the trial, Judge Laurence J. Rittenband played a dubious role...
Three days before Polanski would be sentenced, Rittenband invited Polanksi’s attorney Douglas Dalton and district attorney Robert Gunson to an off-the-record meeting in his chambers. Rittenband told the lawyers that he wanted to send Polanski to state prison on probation for a mental evaluation for a maximum of 90 days, and then would be released on time served. He asked Gunson and Dalton to present this plan to him as their own idea, which he would approve.
Polanski went to state prison for his mental evaluation, and left after 42 days.
Two days before Polanski’s official sentencing hearing, Rittenband called another private meeting with the lawyers. He said he would sentence Polanski a minimum of 48 days additionally, and then Polanski had to leave the country permanently (Polanski was born in Paris and didn’t have a US green card). He added the warning that he might sentence Polanski to 50 years in prison. Dalton reported this to Roman Polanski, who immediately took the plane to London, and then flew to Paris.
Polanski has never returned to the USA, still lives in France, and has continued to make successful movies.
In September of 2009, Polanski travelled to Switzerland to accept a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich film festival. He was detained at immigration, and placed into custody to await possible extradition to the US. After spending a little more than 2 months in Swiss jail, he made a $4.5 million bail and was placed under house arrest in his Swiss chalet. 138 prominent celebrities, including Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Harrison Ford, signed a petition against his arrest. Whoopi Goldberg explained that Polanski had only pleaded guilty to “statutory rape”, not “rape-rape”.
Switzerland ruled against extradition after and Polanski remained free.
As an adult, Samantha Geimer wrote that she “personally” wanted that Polanski be allowed to come back to the USA without fear of being locked up for what he did to her, because:
I don’t understand why Polanski can’t be tried in absentia, or how sentencing him could benefit him, but I’m no lawyer...
In August of this year, because being outraged over the request by Geimer, Robin M. decided to speak out publicly about being sexually abused herself by Roman Polanski in 1973, when she was only 16. Robin explained that she only told one friend, and had not reported it to the authorities out of fear over the reaction of her father:
Strangely, Robin claimed that she stepped forward with her story to support Samantha Geimer, while this is certainly not supporting Geimer’s request to drop the charges. Robin said:
The former German model and actress Renate Langer has issued an official statement accusing Roman Polanski of raping her twice when she was only 15 years old in 1972. The report was filed to the Swiss police. Langer said that she had approached the Swiss police because she believed the statute of limitations would allow her complaint to be investigated. Switzerland has no statue of limitations on child sex-abuse cases, but the law limits prosecution in cases that happened many years ago. The police are determining whether she can pursue a criminal complaint.
Langer claims that she was first abused by Polanski in February 1972 in a bedroom of his home in Gstaad, Switzerland, despite her protests.
The director called her about a month later to apologise and offer her a role in his film “Che?”, which she accepted because he promised to treat her “professionally. Polanski raped her the second time in Rome after her work on the film was finished. Langer tried to defend herself by throwing a perfume bottle and a bottle of wine at him.
Langer said she never reported the rapes to the police or told her friends or family because she didn’t want to upset her parents. Only years later, she told her boyfriend about it.
She decided to take action now because she had read about how Robin M. came forward in August and because her parents are no longer alive, as her father died past summer and her mother 2 years ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/03/movies/roman-polanski-rape-accusation.html

In June 2017, Geimer requested that the state drop the charges against Polanski and the case resolved in his absence, which the Los Angeles judge denied: https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/8/...ape-charges-explained-samantha-geimer-robin-m

Who is Diana Jenkins?One of the major players in Robert Downey Jr. exposé was a woman named Daina Jenkins.Sanela Diana Jenkins is a Bosnian-born former refugee who was married to a top banker and former head of Barclays bank in the UK, Roger Allan Jenkins.According to Mr. Jenkins' Wikipedia page: In 2008 he played a key role in a £7.3 billion investment in Barclays made by the ruling families of Abu Dhabi and Qatar, and by the Qatari sovereign wealth fund. Since 2011 he has been a member of the Management Committee and Investment Committee of the Brazilian investment bank BTG Pactual.Estimates suggested that in 2005 Jenkins made somewhere between £40 million and £75 million, making him reputedly the highest paid banker in the City of London.Diana Jenkins has since divorced Roger Allen Jenkins and relocated to California where she has established herself as one of the most powerful and influential people in America, yet, has somehow remained in the shadows.She is a major investor and project stakeholder in the Clinton Foundation, and in March 2010, she raised more than $1 million for Bill and Hillary Clinton’s "charitable" organization.Ms. Jenkins was also named in the Congressional Pay-to-Play Clinton Foundation inquiry letter.It has also been alleged that she is connected to global human trafficking networks, and if what Mr. Downey is saying is correct, she may be one of the biggest players in the largest trafficking and pedophilia rings in the United States, if not the world.Robert Downey Jr. coming forward in this way has been an extremely brave move and a sign that the veil is slowly being lifted.In recent times, other celebrities such as Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Brad Pitt, and Elija Wood, to name just a few, have spoken up to warn the public about the abuse that is being suffered at the hands of wealthy, powerful Elites.
