Fact details
In a statement to Us Weekly, talking about his suggestion in a 2003 interview that Samantha Geimer welcomed being raped by Roman Polanski when she was 13 in 1977
I want to publicly apologize to Samantha Geimer for my cavalier remarks on âThe Howard Stern Showâ speculating about her and the crime that was committed against her. Fifteen years later, I realize how wrong I was. Ms. Geimer WAS raped by Roman Polanski. When Howard brought up Polanski, I incorrectly played devilâs advocate in the debate for the sake of being provocative. I didnât take Ms. Geimerâs feelings into consideration and for that I am truly sorry. So, Ms. Geimer, I was ignorant, and insensitive, and above all, incorrect. I am sorry Samantha.
Fact details
In an interview with Howard Stern, talking about Roman Polanskiâs sexual assault of a 13-year-old in 1977
He didnât rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape...he had sex with a minor. Thatâs not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, youâre talking about violent, throwing them downâitâs like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You canât throw the word rape around. Itâs like throwing the word âracistâ around. It doesnât apply to everything people use it for. [...] And by the way, weâre talking about Americaâs morals, not talking about the morals in Europe and everything. [...] Look, she was down with this.
