Disgraced film director Roman Polanski is seen in a smiling photo with Samantha Geimer — more than 45 years after he drugged and raped her when she was just 13.
A grinning Geimer, now 60, draped her left arm around the gray-haired director in what is believed to be their first reunion since the “Chinatown” filmmaker abused her in 1977. Polanski was 43 years old at the time.
It is unclear exactly when the snap was taken but the forgiving victim shared the image to her private Instagram account just after the publication of her interview with France’s Le Point magazine — in which she insisted the 89-year-old had “paid his debt to society.”
Polanski’s wife, actress Emmanuelle Seigner, who interviewed Geimer for the French magazine, made the pic public on her own page.

“Thank you Samantha,” Seigner wrote with a heart emoji.
She credited the photo to Geimer’s husband, David, while tagging the magazine that ran their interview.
Geimer insisted that the 1977 rape — in which she was first fed champagne and Quaaludes — was “never a big problem.”
