From her residence in Hawaii, the 45-year-old Geimer filed a legal declaration asking the Los Angeles Supreme Court to throw out Polanski's case, lest the revival of hearings, more hearings and the director's imminent arrest upon returning to the States ensnare her a second time in the trauma of his persuasive appeals. It's not her first statement to this effect, and not even her most public — that likely occurred last summer on the red carpet for the crusading documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. But it is her most important, aiding Polanski in a way that his own fugitive logic cannot:

I have survived, indeed prevailed, against whatever harm Mr. Polanski may have caused me as a child.

I am surprised and disappointed with the District Attorney, who (1) has refused to cause the dismissal of this case, and (2) has, yet one more time, given great publicity to the lurid details of those events, for all to read, again. True as they may be, the continued publication of those details causes harm to me, my beloved husband, my three children, and my mother. I have become a victim of the actions of the District Attorney. [...]

If Polanski cannot stand before the Court to make this Request, I, as the victim, can and I, as the victim do.

Hear that, Roman? You may get that change of venue after all. Bring your golf clubs!

Geimer had flown in from Hawaii, "a beautiful spot where no one is aware or even cares"; she's now happily married with three children and working as a "personal assistant, accountant, and bookkeeper" for a real-estate developer. Both her husband and her mother, who had taken her to the party where the incident took place, had gotten gussied up with her for the premiere. ...

She approves of the movie — "I didn't think somebody could make it that interesting" — and hopes it will quell some of the curiosity about what happened that night. "I'm glad [director Marina Zenovich] put the truth of the way it happened out there, because I don't want to have to tell people," she says. "It's nice that she went ahead and did it, so people can know the truth and I can just go, 'It's a great movie!'"

Well, then, fantastic. We don't know how or even if ThinkFilm, the distributor who will (re?)release the film theatrically in July, plans to outdo Geimer's appearance later this summer, though a cleverly disguised Polanski himself — smuggled into the States via suitcase, natch — would be just the kind of coup to launch this film into the March of the Penguins-esque notoriety that would position everybody right where they want them come Oscar time. Or, considering how one popular Web site even has Geimer and Polanski listed as an item after all these years, just overturn the conviction and let felony bygones be bygones. Clearly it's time.
