Renate Langer, a 61-year-old former German actress, has reported to the Swiss police that the film director Roman Polanski raped her at a house in Gstaad in February 1972, when she was 15. 
 
 Ms. Langer is the fourth woman to publicly accuse Mr. Polanski of sexual assaulting her when she was a teenager. 
 
 The police in St. Gallen, Switzerland, confirmed that they met with Ms. Langer on Sept. 26. Ms. Langer provided The New York Times with a copy of an email — sent by a Swiss police officer — saying that another office would make the determination as to whether she could pursue a criminal complaint. 
 
 Switzerland has eliminated its statute of limitations on child sex abuse cases, but the law limits prosecution in cases that happened many years ago. Ms. Langer said in an interview that she had approached the Swiss police because she believed the statute of limitations would allow her complaint to be investigated. ||||| This article is over 1 year old

 Roman Polanski under investigation by Swiss police over new rape allegations 
 
 Swiss police are investigating new rape allegations against Roman Polanski made by a woman who said the film-maker assaulted her in the town of Gstaad in 1972.

 St Gallen’s police communications chief, Hanspeter Krüsi, confirmed the details of the allegations, first reported by the New York Times. 
 
 Krüsi told AFP that police interviewed Renate Langer on 26 September concerning accusations that Polanski raped her in Gstaad when she was 15. 
 
 Polanski in 1977 pleaded guilty in the United States to having unlawful sex with Samantha Geimer – aged 13 at the time – but fled the country before he could be sentenced. He remains a fugitive from the US justice system. 
 
 Langer is a 61-year-old former actress who was born in Munich, according to multiple media reports. 
 
 She is the fourth woman to publicly accuse Polanski of sexual assault. 
 
 In August, a woman identified only as Robin told a news conference in Los Angeles she was “sexually victimised” by the French-Polish film director when she was 16, in 1973. 
 
 Robin said she was prompted to come forward out of anger after Geimer urged authorities to finally put her famous case to rest. 
 
 Robin told reporters she wanted people to know that Polanski, now 84, had victimised others. 
 
 According to the New York Times, Langer finally decided to approach police in part because of Robin’s example and because her parents are no longer alive.

 She told the paper she met Polanski while working as a model in Munich and travelled with him to a house in Gstaad, where she said he raped her. 
 
 Krüsi told AFP it was not yet clear if criminal charges would be filed. 
 
 Swiss prosecutors can still move forward with the case, although the elapsed time makes it less likely. 
 
 Polanski’s film career has continued to flourish since he fled the US for France, where many consider him an icon. 
 
 He has eight Césars – the French equivalent of an Oscar – as well as a best director Academy Award for Holocaust drama The Pianist.
– Roman Polanski is now facing sexual assault charges from a fourth woman, the New York Times reports. Renate Langer says the director raped her in February 1972 when she was 15 years old. The 61-year-old former actress says she was visiting Polanski, who she met while working at a modeling agency in high school in Germany, in Switzerland because he was thinking about casting her in a film. She says she tried to defend herself when he raped her at his home. Langer says she didn't tell police, friends, or family because she was worried about her parents. "My mother would have had a heart attack," she says." I felt ashamed and embarrassed and lost." She says Polanski called and apologized a month later, offering her a small role. But while filming in Rome, Langer says he raped her again despite her throwing bottles of wine and perfume at him. Swiss police interviewed Langer about the allegations last month, AFP reports. While Switzerland has no statute of limitations on child sex abuse, a spokesperson says it's unclear at this moment if charges will be filed against the 84-year-old Polanski. Langer says she decided to come forward after another woman did so in August and now that both her parents are dead (her father died over the summer). A woman named only as Robin M. said in August that Polanski "sexually victimized" her in 1973 when she was 16, according to Salon. In 2010, actor Charlotte Lewis said Polanski sexually assaulted her in the 1980s when she also was 16. Polanski fled the US in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
