SILENCE IS THE ENEMY.
As America is still reeling from the recent allegations against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein — among them accusations ranging from sexual harassment to sexual assault from several prominent American actresses — another famously infamous man of the movies is yet again in the spotlight. On October 30, 2017, Roman Polanski appeared as the guest of honor at Paris’s prestigious cinema museum, La Cinémathèque Francaise, to kick off a month-long retrospective of his oeuvre.
In recent months a few alleged survivors have summoned the strength to expose the despicable acts he was committing against them including rape and molestation.
By his own admission, Polanski has always been drawn to girls in their teens. He met his current wife, Emmanuelle Seigner, when she was 19 and he was 52. In his autobiography, Roman, he speaks candidly of going to bed with 15-year-old girls as a grown man.
And when he describes the girls, “all between 16 and 19 years old,” who visited him in the late ‘60s while he was grieving the death of his second wife, Sharon Tate, (“not necessarily to make love — although some of them did”) he writes that they were “more beautiful, in a natural, coltish way, than they ever would be again.”
Whenever he writes about this attraction, Polanski tends to paint the teen girl in question as a mature, fully grown human being who just happens to be fresher and more natural and more beautiful than adult women are. Teen girls have the power in the situation, he writes, and he is just a weak man, helpless against their charms — as he seems to believe is true of all men.
“Judges want to fuck young girls,” he told Martin Ames in 1979. “Juries want to fuck young girls — everyone wants to fuck young girls!” The idea that teenage girls might be children, and that not everyone wants to fuck them, doesn’t seem to have occurred to him.
In 1976, Polanski took an assignment from French Vogue that would allow him to explore his attraction to teenage girls: He would shoot a series of photographs about them, one that would, he says in his autobiography, “show girls as they really were these days — sexy, pert, and thoroughly human.”
Now a sudden influx of interest into Hollywood's chauvinism, pedophilia and sexual abuse has exploded. Citizens all over the world are currently dredging up tons of information that seem to allege an ongoing child pedophilia and sexual abuse against women embedded deep within Hollywood for decades.
We've stayed silent until now. We feared. We were threatened. We needed to rebuild our lives. But we can no longer sit back and let monsters sexually assaulted women and raped girls roam free. Roman Polanski is a convicted pedophile, a felon, a fugitive.
We can't bear the thought of another woman's or girl's innocence taken away by him. Age and prison time do not cure pedophilia. Polanski has a long history of rampant sexual abuse.
We want to hear your stories about Roman Polanski and other predatory men who have been using their positions of power and influence to sexually abuse and harass women.
This site is dedicated for all the other victims of Roman Polanski, who were afraid to tell what happened years ago — but now, can tell their story knowing that it will not go unheard and will be shared to give others courage around the globe to put Roman Polanski in jail where he belongs.
This unspeakable behavior towards women has to stop. All tips, once verified will be sent to law enforcement authorities and with permission will be shared anonymously on this site.
STAND UP TO BULLIES AND SEX PREDATORS.
