New Rape Allegations for Polanski

In 1974, Edith Vogelhut spent a night with film director Roman Polanski—and he handcuffed, drugged, and raped her, she alleges, in an exclusive video released by RadarOnline.com on Tuesday. Vogelhut, then 21, had been at a dinner party hosted by The Godfather producer Robert Evans. After the party—and, of course, dancing and booze—Vogelhut and Polanski went to Jack Nicholson's house. This is where, she claims, Polanski gave her MDMA, or ecstasy, and raped her. "I kind of knew that we were going to have sex, but I didn't expect anything out of the ordinary," she said. "I did not expect to be sodomized." Three years later, in 1977, Polanski was famously arrested and charged with the rape of 13-year-old Samantha Geimer. As to why Vogelhut held out until now to tell her story, she said, "I was humiliated. I had absolutely no one to tell." Vogelhut said she plans to release a tell-all book, which will include one chapter about the alleged encounter with Polanski. The director was recently freed by Swiss authorities after they denied his extradition to the U.S. to face sentencing for the 1977 charges.
