    Danish authorities investigating claims of sexual abuse at Lars Von Trier's studio Zentropa

    https://www.theguardian.com/film…

    Interesting that Von Trier isn't named in this, considering the nature of his films, but I guess that means he works on a level of trust that everyone feels comfortable with?

    • Bjorne said Von's behavier was insanely inappropriate during production of dancer in the dark. She never worked with him after.pango

    The Gaslamp Killer sues rape accusers for defamation

    Last month, a Twitter user named Chelsea took to the platform to share a story that took place in Los Angeles in 2013, accusing The Gaslamp Killer of allegedly drugging and raping her and her friend.

    Now, the DJ (real name William Bensussen) has retaliated by suing both women mentioned in the story (Chelsea Tadros and RaeAn Medina) as well as Chelsea's boyfriend (who helped share the story) for up to $5 million for defamation.

    Chelsea's boyfriend, who apparantly fabricated the story, is what Playboy describes as "Meme-Lord Jack Wagner is the Millennial Andy Kaufman"

    The Independent deleted this 2009 op-ed by Harvey Weinstein defending Roman Polanski.

    "Roman Polanski Sexually Assaulted Me When I was 10, The Academy Must Kick Him Out!"

    https://www.thepetitionsite.com/…

    Marianne Barnard, an artist from Santa Barbara, California, has now launched a petition calling for him to be removed from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

    by: Marianne Barnard, artist
    target: Academy Awards

    "Five women, including myself, have accused Polanski of sexual assault:

    - In 1977, Polanski pled guilty and was convicted of the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl, Samantha Geimer. He served 42 days in jail, and as part of an apparent plea bargain, was to be put on probation. When he learned the judge had changed his mind and planned to reject the plea bargain and put him in jail for 50 years, he fled to Paris. As a French citizen, he has been protected from extradition and has lived in France since.

    - In 2010, British actress Charlotte Lewis, who appeared in Polanski's 1986 film "Pirates," accused him of "forcing himself" on her in 1982 in Paris when she was 16.

    - Robin M went public in Los Angeles County in August 2017 with her claim that Polanski sexually victimized her in 1973 when she was 16. She said she told a friend about the incident the next day, then did not speak to anyone else about it for more than 40 years. She initially feared that her father would "do something that might cause him to go to prison for the rest of his life". Robin M will not publicly discuss details of her case.

    - In Oct. 2017, a German woman filed a complaint to Swiss authorities saying Polanski had raped her at his house in Gstaad when she was 15."

    • This shit is old but still the hardest to understand! How is this cunt still at large!Hayzilla
