Schiappa hails ex-model's courage in letter, underscoring judicial system will deal with issue. FMTNews Polanski
November 10, 2019 8:40 AMPARIS: French first lady Brigitte Macron forwarded two letters written to her by a former model who has accused Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski of raping her as a teenager to two members of the government, her office said Saturday.
Macron’s office said they had found the 2018 letter in which Monnier complained that had had no response from Schiappa’s office. Schiappa wrote to Monnier in March last year and hailed her courage “in daring to break the silence of 42 years” and adding that she understood her trauma while underscoring that such things were to be dealt by the judicial system.
Polanski’s lawyer Herve Temime said the director “firmly denies all accusations of rape,” adding that the allegations “which date back 45 years have never been reported to judicial authorities”. In September 2017, former actress Renate Langer filed a new complaint alleging she had been raped by Polanski in 1972 when she was 15.
