interesting that the French have protected a diddler for 30 years, heres hoping the Swiss give him the boot.

The French dont extradite French citizens..

[leewgrant]

Here's hoping the Swiss send him back to the US to serve his sentence - he was 45 and he shagged a 13-yr old.

[stemmer]

He's a pedophile and deserves the sentencing awaiting him in the USA and stop hiding under the guise of an artist....

Sent him to Poland. They just passed a law calling for castration of pedophiles.

It's shamefull that people support this creep.

If she had hips, that wouldn't make him a pedophile. Loretta Lynn was married at thirteen. Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13 year old. Might even have been his cousin, if I recall. It as quite common back in the day.

loretta lynn .. married january 49

lewis .. married december 57



Polanski .. diddling in 1977


A generation of difference .. nice try though Zip.

A sad and pathetic attempt at deception, Zip.
Marriages are also conceptual.

It's shameful how little you people know of this case. He served his sentence. Was it lenient? Yes, but it was agreed upon by judge, D.A. and defense. The rest is a sham. A showboat, celebrity wanna-be judge is the villain here.

He went in for a psychiatric evaluation, not for the actual criminal sentence. He fled before receiving his criminal sentence.

None of you know much about this story, it seems. You need to read up on the case. The sentence WAS the psych evaluation. It was supposed to be 90 days, that's what the judge thought. But the shrinks turned him loose before 90 was up. This pissed off the judge, who hadn't understood the process. The judge was a shameless movie-star wanna-be, so he renegged on the plea deal that had been the psych evaluation. In fact, it was the judge's OWN idea to make the sentnece the 90 days in the hatch. You should check out the film "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired". It's a solid documentary on the case. Polanski served his sentence. The judge was a crooked fuck-up.

Regardless, Polanski is a 76 year old holocaust survivor who made a stupid (though concentual) mistake 40 years ago. If this were anyone but a celebrity, it never would have seen the inside of a courtroom in the first place.

13 years old consentual??

There are tons of holocaust survivors who don't fuck up. Bad, VERY weak excuse.
