On April 12–13, 1980, Melonie Haller attended a dinner party at the Southampton, Long Island home of film producer Roy Radin. Haller had been introduced to Radin by photographer Ronald Sisman, and visited his home hoping to forward her stalled acting career. The day after the party, Haller was discovered on a commuter train to Manhattan, unconscious and bloodied. She claimed to have been beaten and raped during the party at Radin's home, and further alleged that the crimes had been filmed by Radin and/or others in attendance. Radin claimed that Haller had consented to sexual games during the party.

The Haller case was widely covered by the New York City press. In 1981, businessman Robert McKeage pleaded guilty to assaulting Haller, and was sentenced to 30 days imprisonment.

Wow. Perusing the WBK thread, as many of us are tonight, I think...and I came upon this.

What a seeming injustice. Only thirty days for THAT? Incredible, and sad. I wonder how Ms. Haller is doing today. Seems like an incident like this could easily damage the rest of your life, career, psychology, etc.

30 days? That's unbelievable.
