Roman Polanski Denies Swede-Seduction At Funeral

Sure, director-in-exile Roman Polanski admitted in his libel trial against Vanity Fair, he had his share of fun as a young cocksmith on the loose in Hollywood at the height of his powers, taking women three at a time when the opportunity presented itself, but he was never this shameless a horndog:
As he acknowledged to a court in London on Monday, Roman Polanski was, in his younger days, a libertine and rake who freely engaged in casual sex, sometimes with more than one woman at a time.
But on no account, Mr. Polanski declared, did he try to seduce a beautiful Swedish woman in 1969 while en route to the funeral of his wife, Sharon Tate, soon after her brutal murder by followers of Charles Manson in California. Nor was it true, he added, that as part of part of his seduction technique, he placed his hand on the woman's thigh and murmured, "and I will make another Sharon Tate out of you."
See? Polanski could check his libido, even when he might succumb to his grief and seek comfort in the bosom of a comely Swede. Furthermore, it can only help his case that it took him nearly eight years after the funeral to work his way down to having sex with a 13-year-old. That kind of restraint is nearly superhuman.
