The woman, who was 21 at the time, reported the alleged sexual assault to the Los Angeles District Attorney in May and was interviewed by authorities.

Edith Michelle Vogelhut, a former model also known as Shelli Paul, told authorities Polanski "handcuffed" her at actor Jack Nicholson's Hollywood house where he was staying, then sodomized her repeatedly, before he passed out, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

A spokesperson for the District Attorney's office refused to comment when contacted by RadarOnline.com.

But Vogelhut's attorney, Michael Griffith, told RadarOnline.com that she was unable to file a civil complaint against Polanski, because of Californian law.

"I'm not planning on filing a civil lawsuit against Mr. Polanski as I think the statute of limitations has expired," he said.

"(However) I'm in contact with the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office regarding the criminal case."

The woman's story is eerily similar to Samantha Geimer, also a one-time model, who Polanski took for a photo shoot in a hot tub at Nicholson's Hollywood mansion in 1978.

Swiss authorities freed the 77-year-old movie director on July 12, choosing not to extradite him to Los Angeles to face sentencing for having sex with Geimer, who was 13-years-old at the time.

The Swiss declared that the U.S. had failed to provide records of a January hearing that would have shown Polanski had already served his sentence.

"I'm not sure what I will do hereafter," Polanski told a Swiss. "For the moment I'm happy to be free."

Charlotte Lewis, the woman who came forward Friday and accused Roman Polanski of sexual abuse, said the filmmaker told her he slept with all of his actresses.

As RadarOnline.com reported exclusively, Lewis’ friend since childhood, Jon Jacobs, said the actress was beautiful but extremely vulnerable at the time she met Polanski.

Jacobs also emphatically said Lewis is “not a liar.”

Now Lewis has told London’s Mail on Sunday that Polanski told her, “If you’re not big enough to have sex with me, you’re not big enough to do the screen test. I must sleep with every actress that I work with. That’s how I get to know them, how I mold them.”

Polanski is currently under house arrest in Switzerland facing extradition to the United States.

Lewis told the Mail that she turned down Polanski’s advances when they first met in 1983 as she was going to audition for “Pirates.”

She told him she had a boyfriend and left Polanski’s apartment. But she came back later and won the role. Lewis says she never told her mother what happened. “I was just  too ashamed,”  she said.

The actress said she needed the money and has carried around the burden of being sexually abused by Polanski until she finally came forward Friday.

Her friend Jacobs told RadarOnline.com that he first heard about the charges a few month ago.

“I met Charlotte when I was 15 and she was 14 and we both used to go to the clubs and as gorgeous as she was, she was never promiscuous around me and didn’t sleep with the guys who were trying to get with her,” Jacobs told RadarOnline.com.

“A young girl who’s very attractive is just very attractive, it doesn’t mean she wants to have sex,” Jon Jacobs tells RadarOnline.com.  “You know what I mean?  Yes, she was there.  She certainly went through it.”

Jacobs and Lewis were childhood friends in the UK, and he visited her on the set of Pirates, the film she shot with Roman Polanski directing.

In an explosive press conference Friday, Lewis accused Polanski of sexually abusing her in his Paris apartment during the shoot.  Lewis was then 16 years-old.

After she wrapped the Polanski film, Charlotte landed in Hollywood.  She was the IT girl, as Jacobs recalls.

“She came off Polanski and right into The Golden ChildEddie Murphy was crazy about her.

“But I’ll tell you something, I met Charlotte when I was 15 and she was 14 and we both used to go to the clubs and as gorgeous as she was, she was never promiscuous around me and didn’t sleep with the guys who were trying to get with her.”

Jacobs says he first heard of Charlotte’s accusations against Polanski three or four months ago. “I’m not going to doubt her.  She’s not a liar,” he says.

U.S. Officials Want Polanski Back For Sentencing

Jacobs isn’t certain why his friend waited so long to go public with her allegation but he has his theory.

“It’s probably something that she had to turn over in her mind many, many times. I’m realizing she’s like ‘f**k Hollywood’.  That’s it.  She doesn’t care any more.

“She wants it off her chest.  That’s obviously what she’s doing.”
