omg, you think that a thirteen year old girl who volunteers sex has any idea of what she is doing?

Statutory rape is very serious, and this guy took advantage of a young girl.

I don't care how well liked and respected or talented he is. It doesn't change the fact that he raped someone.

He should face a jail term, like anyone else would.

what he said

+ it's not like he had sex with a 16 or 17 year old girl, who might look like a "real" (adult) woman

he was fucking a 13 year old child

that pedo must get what he deserves

Pedo-apologists amaze me frankly.
How people can say 'yes he's a pedo, but he's so nice/talented/friendly he sould be let off' is beyond me, although I've seen it enough times.

Not sure how the opinion of a C-List actress is of any relevance either.

Polanski drugged and raped a 13yr old.
It was pre-planned and intentional.
Fuck him.

It wasn't "rape" rape? If getting a thirteen year-old girl drunk, plus drugging her, plus having vaginal and anal intercourse while she keeps saying "no" "don't" and "stop" isn't rape... well then what the fuck is?

From what I have been told in the past this episode was consentual but from futher looking into it there is no way in fucking Hell that it can even be argued to have been consentual.

Needs of many outweigh the needs of one.

I think it is required that the law be upheld for celebrities, especially ones that run away from the law like he did. Its not in her hands anymore.
And if he was not a celebrity, none of this would even be an issue.

Like say, if he were...a Catholic priest.

I'm sure everyone would be saying, "You should really just let him go. He didn't really hurt anyone."

Bullshit.

It was a crime then. It's a crime now. The fact that he's a celebrity doesn't make it less of a crime. The fact that the victim has gotten on with her life doesn't make it less of a crime. The fact that Europeans love his movies doesn't make it less of a crime.

The really messed up thing is how common this sort of thing was amongst celebrities particularly in that era.

I haven't noticed any mention of the fact that this happened in Jack Nicholson's hot tub, at a party and that occurences like this were not exactly uncommon.

Have you all over-looked that he is in comtempt of court by disobeying judge's order and fleeing the country? He can either be fined and/or imprisoned. I personally would want him imprisoned for fleeing like a little bitch.

There's no statute of limitations on rape or murder.
The girl was drugged before it occurred.
The girl was 13 years old when it happened.

Fuck Hollywood here. I've seen what a great artist he was as an argument. Same Hollywood a-holes. How art-filled was the actual drugging and raping bit?

The girl may have forgiven him...but...

There should be a trial. Its merely an issue on how severe the punishment should be.

I hope he stays a long time in the clink.

Seems Polanski may have bought off the girl.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8288340.stm

Roman Polanski agreed to pay his victim of sexual assault $500,000, 15 years after he fled the US, according to court documents released to the media.

The French-Polish director is being held in Switzerland on a US arrest warrant over his 1977 conviction for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
The confidential deal between Mr Polanski and the victim, Samantha Geimer, was reached in October 1993.
It was disclosed because of a two-year struggle to get the film-maker to pay.

Mr Polanski - who faces extradition to the US - was detained in Switzerland as he travelled from France to collect a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival.
The last court filing in August 1996 stated that he owed Ms Geimer $604,416.22, including interest. The documents were made available to the media on Friday.

The court records did not reveal whether the 76-year-old director had ever paid, according to the Associated Press.
The director pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with an under-age girl following a plea bargain - he had originally been charged with six offences including rape and sodomy.

Seems to me he'd already bargained it pretty successfully if rape was dropped from the charges.

Victim sued

He left the US in 1978 before he could be sentenced and has not returned to the country since.

David Finkle, the film-maker's lawyer, said he was unable to recall details of the case and declined comment. Ms Geimer and her family have also been unavailable for comment.

She sued Mr Polanski in December 1988, alleging sexual assault, infliction of emotional distress and seduction.

But in January this year she asked a US court to drop charges against him, saying the continued publication of details "causes harm to me, my husband and children".

If she sued 10 years on it would appear she didn't exactly forgive him immediately, guess she was bought off recently though.

Fuck him and Whoopi Goldberg. He's a rapist and a child molester, you can't see it any other way after he gave her drugs and alcohol. This is only being debated because he's famous.

You're right. Most are vehemently asking for his head because he is famous.

(he DID serve 45 days in jail for psychological screening, but that was before his sentencing)

^^^^^^^^
What I saw in one pundit interview on TV was that he served 45 days prior to sentencing. The judge permitted him to travel to Europe for some film thing where he was photographed with teenage girls. The judge was given the photo outside of the court proceedings, a big no-no, and understandable got mad. The pedo-perp then got scared and ran out on his plea bargain deal because he thought the judge was going to make him spend more time in jail. Apparently he would have gotten another 45 days.

That means that this guy just spent the last 30 years running because he didn't learn his lesson the first time and didn't want to spend another 45 days in jail.... who stupid was that

And couple that with the fact that IMO he has been trading on his notoriety as the bad boy director wanted by the US.

I can just hear the French BS now
"ooonnnn oui oui, it was a crime of passion, the Americans don't understand the ways of love, I'm am a victim, luv meeee."
ROFL I wonder how the french fru fru victim stuff is going to work for him when he's grabbing his ankles in prison.

I bet he gets more that 45 days this time.

Me I just surprised that drugging and raping a 13 year old only got you 45 days back in the 1970s. Well at least that's one cultural attitude that's been changed.

He wasn't convicted of rape, it was bargained down to unlawful sex with an under-age girl - and thats what he would have been sentenced for.

I guess it would be equivalent to a 16yr old sleeping with a 15yr old, not a huge deal compared with drugging and raping an unwilling victim.

Best quote describing this from a former co-worker of mine:

It doesn't matter if a chick looks 22 and is grinding on your lap and smoking black tar heroin as her mom shows you her Spartan Army gangbang video, if she's 13 and you stick your dick in her ass, you're going to jail.

Damn near shot coffee out my nose when I read it.

We'll we've all been in a similar situation...

13 year olds can look 15, and 15 is the borderline age, so it's all good in the hood.
