Forums - General - Roman Polanski arrested and awaiting for extradition to USA

Sqrl on 29 September 2009

I don't really care how complicated the trial was or whether the judge hated him....he anally raped a little girl and ran off after pleading guilty.

It's as simple as 1) Extradite, 2) Lock Him Up, 3) Add more time for running....

I can't understand how anyone in their right mind would be for just dropping the issue entirely...but a lot of folks in Hollywood and abroad seem to think that is exactly what should happen.

It's not all that black and white. My own moral standards say to lock his ass up. However, the case he got convicted in was kinda a sham, the judge that convicted him turned out to be an anti-semite, and the laws back in the 1970's were not as harsh as they are now. In California back when this happened, no one had been locked up for the charges he faced in over two years. He was getting special treatment in this case, but not in a good way.

I think the only fair thing is to retry the case and see what happens.

 

He got a 13 year old girl drunk and drugged her with qualudes, then raped her. Not stautatory rape either, but girl was unwilling rape.

I'm sure the judge was an anti-semite, because he threw out the ridiculous plea bargain that he'd only have to serve the roughly forty days in jail he already served.

He got accused of those things, but not convicted. I know the difference between what kind of vigilante justice I would love to happen to him, and what the law has presented. Unfortunately they don't match up. Regardless of the sick bastard he is, he still deserves the same fair trial everyone is legally supposed to have. When he recently tried to get the case dismissed, the evidence he provided to a new judge was substantial enough that the judge acknowledged there was severe misconduct during the trial. It may have gotten thrown out altogether, but Polanski was ordered to appear for the dismissal hearings in America, and he wouldn't risk it coming back.

The anti-semite comments against the judge stemmed from some group the judge was a member of that didn't allow jews to join. As far as I remember, it wasn't religious based where that might have been a problem.

I would say that he should get the death penalty for raping someone. But in the case of a pedophile he should be sent right to jail

He raped her, sodomized her, etc. but plea bargained down to concensual sex with a minor. What's funny is that what he ran from was a 90 day psychiatric prison sentence he was allowed to come and go from to continue working. He already did 42 days. So yes, this man has been on the run for 30 something years because he didn't want another 47 days in psychiatric care.

Really? He is an idiot.

 

I hate when people get stupid sentences like this. He should have to wrought in prison and get some of his own medicine

There's more to the story on his end. He believed the judge was going to go back on the plea bargain and imprison him for the full charges, because he found out the judge was talking to the DA or something, and because frankly the judge hated him and didn't particularly like jews at all. Now the judge is dead, but now Polanski has to answer for evading the law on top of his original sentence, so he pleads for them to throw the case out from abroad.

Frankly I think the law has bent over backwards for him, and he's gotten away with so many shitty things because of his celebrity status and problems traveling. He sued Vanity Fair, an american magazine, in british court while giving video testimony from France because he can't be in the UK for extradition reasons and the US wouldn't hear the case since he wouldn't show up for it. He was the first person in history supposedly to be allowed to pull some shit like this. Plus he won.

There was a lot of mess in the first case for sure but it doesn't change simple facts:

1) he brought here there with him to the party

2) he knew perfectly well how old is she

3) despite all this she was drunk and drugged and they made sex together

That alone should be enough to place him in prison for lot longer than 90 days

Two comments:

1- It's very strange that it took them this long to arrest him (not that this makes him any less guilty).

2- If I were a politician, I would stay the hell away from this case... do you really want to be known as "the guy who defended the pedophile rapist"?

The world is a corrupt place. How can unpunished anal rapists walk around freely and make movies?

Except media in Europe prefer to refer to him as victim of American justice system.

Because he made some good movies, and they should let him make them in jail xD

Anyway, I think they couldve done it before, now I think even the "girl" isnt interested, I think its a bit late maybe.

The girl is not only disinterested in having him arrested, she's actually personally suggested she should go to court herself to get the case dismissed. She said the years of questioning from DAs and the media attention has damaged her and her family life as much as the incident itself has and she just wants it put behind her. I don't think she should be allowed to though. By being a minor at the time, I dont think she can ask for the case to be dismissed like an adult rape victim might be able to do. Plus she already sued him out the ass and won years ago, so there's always that.

I can't figure out why people in Hollywood are supporting him like that. He did a terrible act and he should be punished like anybody else. Having artistic talent shouldn't be taken into account when judging rape.
