New Roman Polanski Investigation Opened by the LAPD

The LAPD has opened a new investigation into “Rosemary’s Baby” director Roman Polanski, the Associated Press reports.

According to the Associated Press, detectives are investigating a woman’s allegation that Polanski molested her when she was 10, in 1975. While the statute of limitations precludes ciiminal charges from being brought against Polanski on the new allegations, police could be able to use evidence from the new investigation to aid in other cases.

California artist Marianne Barnard reported to police in October that Polanski molested her during a 1975 photo-shoot during which Polanski had her pose naked and in a fur coat on a Los Angeles County beach, the Associated Press reports.
