A French court acquitted filmmaker Roman Polanski on Tuesday of defaming a British actor whom he described as a liar after she accused him of sexual assault. The case stems from a 2019 interview with Paris Match magazine, where Polanski allegedly called Charlotte Lewis a liar following her accusations. (AP video/Oleg Cetinic)
