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.

He is a child molester / pedophile. Nothing more needs to be said. He needs to be in jail for the rest of his life as I am sure there are numerous underaged girls that have been harmed by him.

I'm not a trying to "revictimize" or minimize her acct of what happened which is most likely true. She shows up with Gloria Allred who's pro-reputation is laughable at this point and relates a story from what 30 yrs ago? Why??

Btw, she was gorgeous in The Golden Child. She had an English accent and did kung fu in the movie. of course, she ended up with Eddie Murphy. this was during his days of Beverly Hill Cops.

she may not be well known here(remember "The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy?), she is from England and i believe she is pretty well known in the European market. so i wouldn't think she was "looking" for a career!

No, you are the twit. She was a kid who could not legally give consent. The sad part is she couldn't tell her mother. I'm glad she came forward and I hope that SOB fries.

sounds like the typical stereo type of this kind of perv. the casting couch director is not a myth sad to say

I disagree she is doing this for her career. Hollywood has a double standard for this child molester; they've all been screaming for his release. No one will hire her. She may as well have said she was a republican LOL.

16 year-olds are expected to have poor judgment, but adults such as Polanski are expected to know better. I remember babysitting or sleepovers with friends and the dads hitting on me.. What pigs. I always blame the adult.

She should have quit while she was ahead. I lose more and more sympathy for her every time I hear a little more of her story. No excuses for him but she went back to have sex with him to get an acting role and that makes her a ho.
