Roman Polanski Sued In Lawsuit Alleging Director Raped Minor in 1970s
罗曼·波兰斯基被起诉：导演被指控1970年代性侵未成年人
Embattled director Roman Polanski has been sued in a lawsuit accusing him of drugging and raping a minor in 1973.陷入困境的导演罗曼·波兰斯基被起诉，他被指控在1973年对一名未成年人进行迷奸和强奸。
The filing of the complaint comes as a trial in France kicks off over allegations that he defamed British actress Charlotte Lewis, who he accused of disseminating a “heinous lie” after she claimed that he sexually assaulted her in the 1980s. Polanski has been a fugitive from prosecution in the United States since the 1970s.这起诉讼是在法国法院就对英国女演员夏洛特·路易斯（Charlotte Lewis）的诽谤指控展开审理之际提出的，波兰斯基曾被指控在1980年代性侵了她。自20世纪70年代以来，他一直在美国逍遥法外。
The lawsuit was filed by an unidentified plaintiff last year in Los Angeles Superior Court, but it was not allowed to disclose Polanski as the defendant. Gloria Allred, who represents the woman, said that the court recently permitted her to file an amended complaint naming Polanski.去年，一名未透露身份的原告在洛杉矶高等法院提起诉讼，但被禁止点名波兰斯基为被告。代表该女性的格洛丽亚·艾尔德（Gloria Allred）表示，法院最近允许她提交一份修正的起诉书，其中指定了波兰斯基。
According to the lawsuit, Polanski invited the woman to dinner after meeting her at a party when she was a teenager. At his house in Benedict Canyon, he allegedly gave the plaintiff alcohol before going to dinner, where she was given more alcohol.根据起诉书，波兰斯基在她还是青少年时的一次派对上认识了这名女子，并邀请她共进晚餐。据称，在本尼迪克特峡谷的家中，他给了原告一些酒精后，他们前往餐厅，她又喝了一些。
After returning to his house, the woman allegedly fell asleep on his bed and awoke with him lying next to her.这名女子据称回到家中后，在他的床上睡着了，醒来时发现他躺在自己身边。
“He told her he wanted to have sex with her,” Allred said. “Plaintiff, although groggy, alleges she told defendant no. She told him ‘Please don’t do this’ She alleges he ignored her pleas” and proceeded to sexually assault her.“他告诉她，他想和她发生性关系，”艾尔瑞德说，“根据原告的说法，尽管她当时神志不清，但她拒绝了被告。她对他说‘请不要这样’，然而，她声称被告并未理会她的恳求，进而对她实施了性侵。”
The complaint brings claims for rape, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It was brought under an amendment passed in 2020 to California’s statute of limitations for certain sex crimes, giving victims of childhood sexual assault more time to sue.这份诉状指控了强奸、性侵犯和故意造成精神痛苦。它是在加州2020年通过的一项修正案的框架下提出的，该修正案延长了对某些性犯罪的诉讼时效，使得童年性侵受害者有更多时间提起诉讼。
Allred, who also represented a woman in a sexual assault lawsuit against Bill Cosby, said that Polanski was served the lawsuit in France, where he currently resides, and plans to depose the director. The rape was not reported to law enforcement at the time of the incident, she said.艾略特·罗杰斯(Allred)也代表一名女性对比尔·考斯比(Bill Cosby)提出了性侵诉讼，她表示，波兰斯基目前居住的法国已收到传票，她计划对这位导演进行取证。她说，这起强奸案在发生时并未向警方报告。
In 1977, Polanski was arrested for raping Samanta Geimer, then 13-years-old. He accepted a plea agreement to dismiss five of the more serious charges against him, including rape by use of drugs, in exchange for pleading guilty to engaging in unlawful sex with a minor. His lawyers expected him not to serve any time in prison and get probation. The disgraced director fled to France after he learned that the judge who initially handled the case in the 1970s and died in 1993 intended to go back on the deal in favor of putting him behind bars for up to 50 years, according to court documents. He has argued that the judge was unduly influenced by a prosecutor and that the decades-old case against him should be dismissed.1977年，波兰斯基因涉嫌强奸当时13岁的萨曼莎·吉梅尔被捕。他接受了一项协议，放弃对他五项较严重指控中的五项，包括使用药物强奸，换取承认与未成年人发生非法性行为的有罪认罚。他的律师预计他不会服刑，只会获得缓刑。根据法庭文件，当得知1970年代初负责此案、于1993年去世的法官打算违背协议，将其关押长达50年时，这位声名狼藉的导演逃往了法国。波兰斯基一直辩称，法官受到了检察官的不当影响，并要求驳回多年的指控。
Geimer in March urged the court to dismiss the criminal case against him and sentence Polanski to time served in absentia, which it has refused to do. In 2022, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office in 2022 dropped its opposition to a request to unseal a former prosecutor’s testimony that Polanski has maintained will reveal judicial misconduct. District Attorney George Gascón told The Hollywood Reporter there were “some irregularities” in the case, pointing to the judge who initially oversaw the proceedings.今年3月，Geimer敦促法院驳回对他的刑事指控，并缺席判处波兰斯基有罪，但法院拒绝了这一请求。2022年，洛杉矶县地方检察官办公室撤销了对公开一名前检察官证词的反对，该证词称波兰斯基一直表示这将揭露司法不当行为。地方检察官乔治·加西亚（George Gascón）告诉《好莱坞报道者》（Hollywood Reporter），此案“存在一些不正常情况”，并指出了最初负责此案的法官。
A ruling unsealing the testimony could potentially lead to Polanski being allowed to return to the United States without serving prison time for his underlying criminal case if it’s found that the court improperly reneged on the plea deal he allegedly struck with prosecutors for 90 days of psychiatric evaluation. He may, however, face time in prison for fleeing the country. France and Poland have refused to extradite him.一项裁决可能会揭开证词，从而理论上让波兰斯基无须服刑就能返回美国，前提是他与检察官达成的被指长达90天精神评估的认罪协议遭不当撕毁。然而，他可能会因为逃离该国而面临监禁。法国和波兰拒绝引渡他。
