[HIGHLIGHTS] Polanski defamation trial: “If there was no statute of limitations, I would have also sued for rape”

Polanski defamation trial: “If there was no statute of limitations, I would have also sued for rape”. The director was on trial this Tuesday in Paris following a complaint from British actress Charlotte Lewis.

“It was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Charlotte Lewis, 56. Unsurprisingly, Roman Polanski, 90 years old, was absent, represented by his lawyers Delphine Meillet and Alain Jakubowicz. Assisted by Me Benjamin Chouai, Charlotte Lewis spent two hours at the bar.
