LONDON - Roman Polanski, testifying on the first day of his libel suit against the publishers of Vanity Fair magazine, said Monday that he was the victim of an "abominable lie."

ADVERTISEMENT

The Polish-born movie director is suing publisher Conde Nast over a 2002 article that said he seduced a woman on the way to the funeral of his murdered wife, Sharon Tate.

Polanski testified by video link from France, where he has lived since fleeing child-sex charges in the United States in 1978.
Tate, who was pregnant, was killed by followers of American serial killer Charles Manson in Los Angeles in 1969.

How would you establish credibility?

By facing the statuatory rape charges, not worrying about rumors of petty affairs.

This case really irks me. On the one hand, by fleeing to another country to avoid child-sex charges signifies that he does not believe in the American justice system. On the other hand, he expects to profit from it by using the same system. Why should our civil court resources be tied up in this bulls[b][/b]hit when he has a fairly serious criminal charge hanging over his head.
