Samantha Geimer, who in 1977 at the age of 13, was "the girl" at the center of the infamous Roman Polanski sexual assault case. Now 47, Geimer tells her own story and reflect on the events of that day and their lifelong repercussions.  At the Society Geimer discussed reclaiming her identity as a flesh and blood person whose life was irrevocably altered by her involvement in one of the most notorious and complex stories of all time.   Breaking a virtual 35 year silence, she will provide insight into many dimensions of the story that have never previously been revealed.  "I am more than 'Sex Victim Girl,' a tag the media pinned on me.  My friends in junior high, scolded by their parents to stay away from that girl, also labeled me," says Geimer.  "I offer my story now without rage, but with purpose--to share a tale that in its detail will reclaim my identity.  I have been dogged by tired thinking and easy tags nearly my entire life.  I am not a stick figure.  I know what it is like to be a woman and a victim in the realest possible way."
