Convicted rapist Roman Polanski feels persecuted by media in MeToo era
. His second wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson Family in 1969. In 1977 he was charged with drugging and raping a 13-year-old and later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of unlawful sex with a minor. He spent 42 days in jail before fleeing the United States on the fear that the judge in his case would sentence Polanski to a more lengthy prison sentence.
"The way people see me, my 'image,' did indeed start to form with Sharon Tate's death. When it happened, even though I was already going through a terrible time, the press got hold of the tragedy and, unsure of how to deal with it, covered it in the most despicable way, implying, among other things, that I was one of the people responsible for her murder, against a background of satanism.
"All this still haunts me today. Anything and everything. It is like a snowball, each season adds another layer. Absurd stories by women I have never seen before in my life who accuse me of things which supposedly happened more than half a century ago."
