Renowned director Roman Polanski is facing legal troubles once again as he has been sued in a lawsuit alleging that he drugged and raped a minor back in 1973. The lawsuit was filed by an unidentified plaintiff in Los Angeles Superior Court last year, with the court recently allowing the plaintiff to name Polanski as the defendant.
The lawsuit claims that Polanski invited the woman to dinner when she was a teenager after meeting her at a party. Allegedly, he provided her with alcohol, and upon returning to his house, the woman fell asleep only to wake up to him lying next to her. Despite her protests, the plaintiff alleges that Polanski proceeded to sexually assault her, leading to claims of rape, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
