French court acquits Roman Polanski of defaming accuser Charlotte Lewis in sexual assault case.
French court acquits filmmaker Roman Polanski of defaming British actor Charlotte Lewis, who accused him of sexual assault. The court ruled that Polanski's comments in a 2019 Paris Match interview, where he called Lewis a liar, did not constitute defamation against her. The court did not address the truth of the sexual assault allegation. Polanski has faced multiple sexual assault allegations over the years, including a 1977 case where he was charged with the rape of a 13-year-old in the US.
