'Devil Fish' actor Valentine Monnier accuses the 'Officer and a Spy' director of violently raping her in 1975 in a Friday story in Le Parisien.
. The alleged attack, which occurred when Monnier was 18 years old, was corroborated by several other sources who conferred with"In 1975, I was raped by Roman Polanski," she wrote in a statement to the publication. "I had no connection to him, personal or professional, and barely knew him. This didn't happen in the fracas of a party . This was an extreme act of violence, after we went skiing at his chalet in Gstaad.
"'Separate the art and artist,' we've heard in the last few years, and yet Polanski himself transposes the history that he has tried to overcome over the course of many years repeatedly into the film, pushing his own history closer to that of Dreyfus, to the point where he poses as a victim of the same fury of mendacious trials and media," she writes. "Polanski isn't the victim of anyone but himself and I no longer have the choose [to stay silent].
