The Los Angeles Attorney General announced Tuesday that he would not object to the disclosure of the testimony of one of his predecessors on allegations against Polish-French director Roman Polanski (1933) in the rape of a minor case, which the director says confirming. the judiciary did not follow the agreement.end him in this case.

Roman Polanski was accused of drugs and rape on Samantha Gailey in 1977 when she was thirteen.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said in a statement that his office decided it was “in the interest of justice” to agree to remove the confidentiality of the proceedings. He said, “The case has been described in the courts as ‘one of the oldest soap operas in the history of the California judiciary.’
The exact content of the discussions in this sealed testimony is currently unknown to Roger Ganson, the Attorney General, who then prosecuted Roman Polanski until his retirement in 2002.
However, the director’s attorney, who repeatedly requested in vain for the content to be released, argued that the testimony would prove that the judiciary did not honor the agreement he made with Polanski.
To avoid a public hearing in Samantha Gailey’s case, the prosecutor dropped the heaviest case against the director in exchange for her confession of having sex with a minor.
Under this agreement, Polanski was sentenced to three months in prison, but in fact he was released after only 42 days for exemplary conduct.
When the judge seemed to back down from the settlement and sentence him to dozens of years in prison, Roman Polanski moved to Paris in January 1978 and has not set foot on American soil since.
The owner of The Pianist is still wanted on an international arrest warrant and is in danger of being deported on multiple occasions.
Samantha Gailey publicly pardoned Roman Polanski in 1997.
It should be noted that other women also accused Polanski of raping them when they were minors, but these facts, denied by the director, have no statute of limitations.
