Vuonna 1978 Roman Polański pakeni synnyinmaahansa Ranskaan välttääkseen oikeudenkäynnin. Samantha "Sam" Gailey jäi Kaliforniaan, jossa hän yritti elää normaalia elämää jättäen taakseen kokemansa väkivallan ja oikeusjutun. Monien kompastelujen jälkeen hän onnistui. Samoihin aikoihin Romanin kuolleen vaimon Sharon Taten äiti Doris Tate kiinnostui uhrienoikeusliikkeestä. Jaksossa tutkin tätä liikettä siitä näkökulmasta, millaisilla tavoilla se auttaisi tulevaisuudessa Samin kaltaisia uhreja, mutta käsittelen myös liikkeen surullista kääntöpuolta. Ennen kaikkea tämä jakso on kuitenkin Samin tarina. Miksi Samin ei annettu unohtaa omaa raiskaustaan? Miksi hänen tarinansa pyrittiin yhä uudelleen sekoittamaan Roman Polańskin tarinaan? Ketä varten oikeus on olemassa? Tämä on jakson toinen osa. * Jaksossa suosittelemani kirjat: Samantha Geimer: The Girl – A Life In the Shadow of Roman Polanski Rachel Monroe: Savage Appetites – Four True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession * Labyrinths-podcastin jakso, joka sai minut kiinnostumaan Samin tarinasta: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0VBmIV39AnEyqyRusu8878?si=fbf7b3e60512488e * Linkkejä seksuaalista väkivaltaa kohdanneelle: https://tukinainen.fi/ https://www.seritatyo.fi/ https://nettiturvakoti.fi/ https://nuortenexit.fi/ https://loistosetlementti.fi/sua-varten-somessa/ https://www.seksuaalivakivalta.fi/hae-apua/jos-olet-uhri/ https://suomendelfins.fi/ Löydä Tyttöjen ja Poikien Talot lähellä itseäsi: https://setlementti.fi/toiminta/lapsi-ja-nuorisotyo/tyttojen-ja-poikien-talot-ja-tuvat/ * Linkkejä omasta seksuaalikäyttäytymisestä huolestuneelle: https://www.seritatyo.fi/ https://www.seksuaalivakivalta.fi/hae-apua/jos-olet-tekija/ https://www.mielenterveystalo.fi/fi/omahoito/lapsiin-kohdistuvan-seksuaalisen-kiinnostuksen-omahoito-ohjelma https://serie.fi/ * Linkkejä rikoksesta tuomitun läheiselle: https://www.tehylehti.fi/fi/tyoelama/olisi-ollut-mieluummin-vaikka-murha-laheisen-seksuaalirikos-vaikea-paikka-kuinka-tukea https://www.krits.fi/tietoa/oppaat-ja-kasikirjat/ *
Vuonna 1977 elokuvaohjaaja Roman Polański raiskasi 13-vuotiaan tytön nimeltä Samantha "Sam" Gailey. Tästä seurasivat oikeustoimet, joiden seurauksena Roman karkasi lopulta Ranskaan vältelläkseen tuomiotaan, eikä hän ole palannut Yhdysvaltoihin sen koommin. Mutta kuka on tarinasta usein ulosjätetty Sam, josta käytettiin mediassa pitkään pelkästään nimeä "the girl"? Miltä tuntuu olla satutettu teini keskellä Hollywoodin sensaatiomaisinta oikeusjupakkaa? Entä miten Sam petettiin niin täydellisesti, että hänestä alkoi tuntua, että hänellä oli enemmän yhteistä oman raiskaajansa kanssa, kuin niiden ihmisten, joiden olisi pitänyt suojella häntä? Miten raiskatusta 13-vuotiaasta tulee median silmissä "huono uhri"? Jakson toinen osa julkaistaan viikon päästä. * Linkkejä seksuaalista väkivaltaa kohdanneelle: Samin kirje: https://slate.com/human-interest/2014/02/samantha-geimer-to-dylan-farrow-and-other-victims-the-only-thing-you-have-to-do-is-heal.html Tukea: https://tukinainen.fi/ https://www.seritatyo.fi/ https://nettiturvakoti.fi/ https://nuortenexit.fi/ https://loistosetlementti.fi/sua-varten-somessa/ https://www.seksuaalivakivalta.fi/hae-apua/jos-olet-uhri/ https://suomendelfins.fi/ Löydä Tyttöjen ja Poikien Talot lähellä itseäsi: https://setlementti.fi/toiminta/lapsi-ja-nuorisotyo/tyttojen-ja-poikien-talot-ja-tuvat/ * Linkkejä omasta seksuaalikäyttäytymisestä huolestuneelle: https://www.seritatyo.fi/ https://www.seksuaalivakivalta.fi/hae-apua/jos-olet-tekija/ https://www.mielenterveystalo.fi/fi/omahoito/lapsiin-kohdistuvan-seksuaalisen-kiinnostuksen-omahoito-ohjelma https://serie.fi/ * Linkkejä rikoksesta tuomitun läheiselle: https://www.tehylehti.fi/fi/tyoelama/olisi-ollut-mieluummin-vaikka-murha-laheisen-seksuaalirikos-vaikea-paikka-kuinka-tukea https://www.krits.fi/tietoa/oppaat-ja-kasikirjat/

Amanda and Chris are a husband and wife duo, who created and host the “Labyrinths” podcast. Labyrinths is incredibly thought provoking, and covers a variety of topics from true crime to society in general. In this episode the topic is the case of the 1977 rape of 13 year-old Samantha Geimer. Samantha was raped by famous filmmaker Roman Polanski. The twist in the case comes when Samantha, in an attempt to avoid having to testify and relive her nightmare, requested that the DA offer Polanski a plea deal. From there, the justice system that was supposed to be seeking justice for Samantha began working against her.To suggest a guest or request an interview, please visit us at TrueCrimeBinge.comFollow us on all forms of social media @TrueCrimeBingeToday's Sponsors:WarbyParker.com/Binge - To try Warby Parker's FREE Home Try-On ProgramSimplyEarth.com/Binge - Get a FREE 80ml diffuser when you subscribe to Simply Earth's Essential Oil Recipe Box.BetterHelp.com/Binge - For 10% off of your first month of professional counseling done securely online.

On the 9th of January, I noticed the French journalist Anne-Elizabeth Moutet report on Facebook that the open letter she had co-signed protesting the excesses of the #MeToo movement had received endorsement from an unexpected source. Samantha Geimer was the girl raped by Roman Polanski when she was 13 years old, and her experience is frequently cited by #MeToo activists and supporters as evidence of Hollywood’s moral turpitude and hypocrisy. Browsing Geimer’s Twitter timeline, I discovered that she is also one of a minority of voices expressing scepticism about the resurrection of child abuse allegations made by the Farrow family against Woody Allen. Intrigued, I read Geimer’s memoir The Girl: Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski. Her book is thoughtful, frank, refreshingly matter-of-fact, and offers a counter-narrative that sits uneasily with the use activists and journalists have routinely made of her story. I got in touch with Geimer through a mutual friend, and she kindly agreed to an interview with me to discuss her book, the Polanski case, #MeToo, Woody Allen, and the ongoing … The post Nobody’s Victim: An Interview with Samantha Geimer appeared first on Quillette.

The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, Talk Radio for Fine Minds talked to Lawrence Silver, the man who for 35 years has served as Samantha Geimer's attorney, friend and confident and is the co-author of the true story of 13-year old Geimer's rape by the famous Hollywood director as revealed in the memoir "The Girl: A life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski." Attorney Lawrence Silver has had a front-row seat to one of the most controversial and complex legal cases of our day: “Jane Doe vs. Roman Polanski,” the rape charges brought against the Academy Award-winning Hollywood director of such noted films as "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby."Silver found himself embroiled in the most sensational rape cases of a generation, taking on a powerful Hollywood celebrity, as well as one of the most sympathetic. Polanski, a Holocaust survivor, had recently lost his eight-and-a-half month pregnant wife, the beautiful actress Sharon Tate, brutally murdered by The Manson Family.Like the current drama sitting front and center in the tabloids, the accusations of rape by Dylan Farrow against her notorious father Woody Allen, the case argued became celebrity vs. alleged victim.
In 1977, a 13 year old aspiring actress was invited to do a photoshoot with a famous film director. What happened that day, still makes headlines around the world: Director Roman Polanski, then 43, gave Samantha Gailey then 13, a hefty helping of Champagne and Quaaludes, then raped her at the home of Jack Nicholson.After pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor, Polanski fled the country before his court date and made a home in France. Samantha Geimer, Now 50, and 36 years after the fact, has written a memoir of her experiences. The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski.Lawrence Silver was Samantha’s lawyer, from the very beginning and now talks about the case. The facts remain the same, but the context has changed dramatically in the past 36 years.My conversation with Lawrence Silver:
In the late 1970s the film director Roman Polanski admitted to having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. He spent 42 days in prison then fled the United States because he feared being given a longer sentence. Much has been said and written about what happened, but we've hardly heard anything from the girl herself. Hardtalk is in New York to speak to the woman at the centre of the decades-old scandal, Samantha Geimer. How has her life been affected by that event nearly 40 years ago?
