Welcome To Switzerland, You're Under Arrest!
Directed Roman Polanski arrived in Switzerland all ready to accept his lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival while sipping on a delicious piping hot cup of Swiss Miss (Yes, that's there official drink there). None of that shit is going to happen since bitch got arrested. And they don't serve Swiss Miss to inmates.
Swiss authorities arrested Roman at the request of the U.S. based on a warrant issued all the waaaay back in the olden times (aka 1978). Roman started running after he pleaded guilty to drugging a 13-year-old girl and having sex with her during a photo shoot at Jack Nicholson's house in 1977. Before he could be sentenced, Roman busted out of the US and has been living in France for the past ten million years.
This past July, Roman asked a California court to consider his request to throw the case out. The judge said he wouldn't even consider it if Roman didn't come to the U.S.
The victim, Samantha Geimer, has previously asked that all the charges be dropped, because everyone knowing about the details of that day causes harm to her, her husband and her children.
Roman is now being held by Swiss authorities and they are waiting on an official extradition request from the U.S.
I can't wait to see the very special episode of Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator where they nab Roman in Switzerland. Chris Hansen probably looks so adorable in lederhosen!

Would you leave your daughter in the company of grown-up men for the purpose of taking pictures?
I would not. As far as I'm concerned her mother put her in danger and she should be equally responsible.
----------------
Yes, the mother was fucked up for allowing her daughter to go alone to an "audition". Stupidity is not a crime though. It should be, but it isn't. On the other hand, when parents do not care about the dignity of their children, that is the moment when the state intervenes making sure that the laws that were created to provide for those children are being respected by everyone. Famous filmmaker or not.
-
That is true. But parent is the first person that should be accountable and responsible for her/ his child well-being. If samantha was kidnapped we could say that her mother had nothing to do with her rape. However, that was not the case. She was the one who sent her kid to be with grown men. To me it's a classic case of releasing a responsibility of one's actions.

That doesn't make him any less guilty...
No, it doesn't not. But it goes to show that people are willing to give up so much in order to get their 15 minutes. was she counting on fame and money. I would argue that she was. Would you leave your daughter in the company of grown-up men for the purpose of taking pictures?

"Victim" at that time was 13 and yes, at 13 one should be considered a child.
But this "child" had a boyfriend at that time with whom she had sex! Were their encounters mutually consented? Were charges ever filed against her boyfriend, too?
I hate to blame the victim but this is an ancient story. Part of me thinks Polanski pleaded guilty because his story stood no chance in court.
43 year old man and 13 yeard old girl? Come on, what jury would believe him?
----------------
Has it ever occurred to you that he didn't stand a chance in court because he was fucking GUILTY?
And what the fuck does her not being a virgin have to do with any of this? Oh, right, perhaps you are one of those who believes that there is no such thing as rape because all women are sluts.
FYI, rape exists. I don't care if she was a virgin or a professional slut. He DRUGGED her and raped her. That is a crime, you know? He needs to pay. End of the story. I bet that if it was any of us owing some big money to the IRS we would be thrown in jail the minute they could get their hands on us, 40 years later or not and with interests!!! WTF makes this fucker so special? Oh yeah, he made some movies about rape and how much he loved it and people thought he was a genius! So what? If he'd appreciated his freedom so much, he should have thought it twice before drugging a kid just so he could stick his peen in her!

Did the 'victim' testify under oath that she was "made drunk, drugged, corn-holed, etc etc etc"?
Bitch just had to get his rape on with a little girl who probably just started her period. Then he runs like hell to France or some place where he hides for 30 yrs cuz bitch knows he did something wrong. This is the same short midget ass bitch who whored it up when his wife Sharon Tate was pregnant with his kiddo, before she got butchered by Manson's gang. Hollyweird is all kinds of fucked up. It's the only industry that eats its own yet it's always the first to forgive every conceivable crime. They don't live in the real world. Their world is all make-believe.
There is this allegation that plea bargain was agreed to and the reneged upon. Here's what I heard about that:
It appears that what happened was that part of the plea agreement was that he would undergo a 90-day psychiatric evaluation before sentencing. He reported to the psych ward as directed. After 42 days, he was released. He heard rumors that his original plea deal would not be honored and he would be sentenced to prison, so he skipped the country.
I just have to wonder what came out during the psych eval that made the judge decide that he needed to go to the pokey. I would have to believe that it was some really bad stuff.
"I am not condoning this, but isn't there a statute of limitation in rape charges?"
Not when you plead guilty.
"The young 'professional' (aided perhaps by a pimp in the person of her mother) had agreed to perform a service for the client(Roman Polanski)> It somehow went wrong and the pro and her mother smelled some big money and tried to $hake Roman down. He said no so they went to the cops."
That's still illegal. First, there is no such thing as consensual sex with a child. Yes, 13 is still a child. Next, Polanski got her drunk (now it's kidnapping) and gave her quaaludes then forced himself on her, gave her oral sex and finally sodomized her. If he was innocent, he should have gone to trial instead of entering a plea bargain with the judge.
"In Europe something like this would be laughed out of the courtroom - if it even GOT into the courtroom."
That's why this baby rapist fled to France. Dumbass should have booked a Gary Glitter vacation instead of fucking children in Jack Nicholson's home. But you're right, Europeans have no problem with this, since Polanski took up with 15 year old Natassja Kinski next and paved her way to a career in soft porn.
"This is a very common and tired story. It happened to a very rich friend of ours as a matter of fact."
Why am I not surprised? Yes, only THE BEST people rape children.
Anyhow, now that Susan Atkins has achieved room temperature, there's an empty bed in California's correctional system ready for Roman "Short Eyes" Polanski. He can rot in jail, then rot in hell.
This appears to have been a simple business transaction between two consenting sexually mature people. The young 'professional' (aided perhaps by a pimp in the person of her mother) had agreed to perform a service for the client(Roman Polanski)> It somehow went wrong and the pro and her mother smelled some big money and tried to $hake Roman down. He said no so they went to the cops.

The govt already arrested him and he pleaded guilty, so no more statute of limitations. (BTW and OFT but liked your comments about Chavez. I guess that's one reason for you to be in the US.)

As I understand all this, the issue is that he fled prior to his sentencing. He apparently had already been found guilty before he fled the U.S., is that correct?
Here's a rough summary: He pleaded guilty under a plea bargain that would have reduced the crimes he was charged with in exchange for a short sentence. The judge refused to accept the plea bargain, saying it was too lenient. Before the sentencing hearing, he fled. So now he's got fugitive charges on top of the original sentence.

AHA! We are getting somewhere..She might had been 13 but sex and booze were no news to her.If Polanski put her in his next movie, no one would ever find out what happened. Just sayin..
But, please correct me if I am wrong, but did he not start a relationship with Sharons UNDER AGE SISTER TOO?! who he later married.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are wrong about that. Polanski didn't have anything to do with Sharon's younger sister. You must be thinking of Peter Bogdonovich, who did, in fact, marry the younger sister of Dorothy Stratten, his girlfriend who was killed by her estranged husband.

I love how NPR described it last night: "Roman Polanski was accused of having sex with a 13-year-old"....
Yeah, way to conveniently leave out the fact that it was a RAPE and he drugged her.
NPR makes me so sick sometimes...I'm addicted to it, but Terri Gross (appropriate name) makes me throw up in my mouth a little...I swear to god she would give Charles Manson a verbal rimjob if she ever got the "honor" of interviewing him. That woman has borderline-mental-disease ass kissing skills.

Frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.
And THIS is what I'm talking about.
ZURICH - A surprise arrest at the Zurich airport, detention at the hands of Swiss authorities, and a high-profile extradition process that could take weeks or months. The irony is that for Roman Polanski, the acclaimed director accused of child rape three decades ago, this latest ordeal could lead to the one thing he's lacked since: his freedom.
***********************************
Exactly. You see? You guys are more than happy to convict this guy becuz you know what's RIGHT. He banks on that. It would be a travesty to say Fuck it - let him go. Except that it wouldn't. They left him 30 years. Anyone screaming that he needs to be put away should have been doing that 30 years ago and for 30 years in a bid to keep children safe from him. Saying it now is just helping him along. They will drag him into court, proceed with the hearings and then set him free.
I've said it before: not all justice happens in a court of law. So much of it doesn't. With this fucker you need to be creative. Let him sit in Switzerland for a year awaiting extradition. Let him never be able to enter illegally so that the minute he does he's committed a crime....
The way that poor immigrant lady sat for 6 months for forgetting a piece of paper - or that guy who was accused of terrorism SIX YEARS ago and was finally set free. There are people - innocent people even - waiting and waiting for their trials to come up. You know what's gonna happen, right? His will move smoothly like melted butter in a pan and he WON'T serve time or very little time and then he will be FREE. And he won't have ever really suffered any penalty.
But the victim will have her 30 year old wound open and the public will get their opportunity to spit all over it as they yell about it and Hollywood can make Polanski movies again.
I'm not less outraged. I'm more outraged cuz now, on top of everything, they're just playing us all.
♥ Threadkilla!
LEAVE LADY GAGA ALOOOOOOOONE!(part 2)
Whatever the merits of his original child molestation charges, the problem he has now is flight to avoid prosecution--he left the country to avoid sentencing. So, he has a derivative legal problem.
Bet he wishes he had dealt with it back in the day. Thought he was above the law as long as he kept out of the united states. Not unlike billie jean jackson.
Not only did he commit this crime. But, please correct me if I am wrong, but did he not start a relationship with Sharons UNDER AGE SISTER TOO?! who he later married. Any one see a pattern here! This man is a CONVICTED sex offender who, when he realised that the Judge was not having his slap on the wrist that the D.A. agreed to... Fled the country to avoid having to do jail time.
I say THANK YOU to the D.A. who after all these years still has the desire to see that JUSTICE be served and not swept under the rug.
I really feel for the victim in all this and her family having to re live it... but what he did was illegal. No ammount of money that she agreed to in a civil suit is going to protect his next victim. The only way to do that is to put him behind bars.
Now if he had just served his time for BRUTALLY raping a 13yr old, Hollywood would have forgiven and unfortunately forgot, but he chose to be a coward and run. Luckily no one has forgotten what he has done and he will see some sort of justice.
If you don't want to do the time, don't commit the crime.
It's about time they put this fucka in front of the justice department!

Great news. If it was some old guy who worked as a bus conductor or something that went on the lam and was caught thirty years later, everyone would think it was justice. Now because he's apparently a "well-respected" film director that's different? Fuck him. Time to pay.

Luckily, they are available in prison.

Yes, yes, yes! They FINALLY got this bastard. The slimy, pervy, disgusting little toad is finally being brought to justice (hopefully). Rich, famous bastards like this got away with soooooooo much back in the day. If I remember correctly he basically tried to blame the victim because she wasn't a virgin. Whether she was a virgin or not is beside the point...she was a minor!!! She was 12/13 and he was a grown man who had sex with her.
I hope he goes to prison for a long, long time. Oh and how fucking funny that the douchebag thought he was getting an award.

In fact, I don't know why he's talking about consensual sex at all. This is a RAPE case...

It sounds like we're arguing when we're saying the same thing, lock his ass in jail and then throw away the key. When i said I didn't care if the victim dropped charges, i meant that i don't care if she has had a change of heart and doesn't want him prosecuted, he's still a criminal, guilty of an unspeakable act on a 13 year old child. He should burn for it.

Cali's laws on statutory rape are graduated based on the male's (or adult's) age and the differential with the female's (or victim's) age. So maybe the gap bw old-guy Polanski was enough to make them keen to prosecute. Plus drugs and booze were involved?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't let a man make a whore of you, Sadie.
I remember reading an article a while back about how Polanski was notorious in Europe for hanging around and seducing underage girls even while he was married to Sharon Tate. He didn't understand America's prudishness when it came to older men with really young girls. Yuck.
