Roman Polanski arrested for extradition (merger)

Good news for those who believe that child rapists should be punished rather than celebrated, Roman Polanski.

Good for the Swiss!

Swiss arrest Polanski on US request in sex case

Lest we forget, this sicko is beloved and honored by the left-wing sleaze in Hollywood. Speaks volumes about the moral and cultural ceasepool our entertainment industry is dominated by.

Until now, he's accused of child abuse, not sentenced, there's a little difference.

Apart from that I don't believe anyone beloves him for that crime he's accused of, but his movies, again a big difference.

Anyway good that he probably will face trail and if sentenced he deserve the harsh conviction, he then hopefully gets and then would deserve.

Just my thoughts + I'm not having an interesst in left/right wing talk about this.

Roman Polanski...

Well, seems like this scumbag's past caught up with him in Switzerland.

Polanski Arrested

Let's hope this piece of shit gets extradited to the United States to spend the rest of his miserable little life as somebody's girlfriend in prison...

Uups I should have read the article, so of to prison Mr. Polanski.

( Or is there a chance that he can come out free, even although he pleaded guilty in 1978?)

There is a difference between "being accused" and "being sentenced". Interesting ly enough, both of those are also very different from "pleading guilty", which is what Polanski did...

Re: Child rapist, beloved and honored by the Hollywood crowd finally taken into custo

I don't like how the fact he is a convicted pedophile, and say what you will, he would have been convicted, is seen with such a rose-tinted view. The media want us to believe we must feel sorry for him over the murder of Sharon Tate, and that he is a genius film-maker. Whilst both may be true, they do not even go a slight way to pardoning him of child molestation. Plus, he is a fugitive, which makes him a much worse case of human being, in that he could not face the consequences of his actions, and the penalties of his actions, he fled. Never mind the fact he ruined the life of a 13 year old innocent girl, he even runs away from punishment. Not only that, he is celebrated, and revered for it. One publication even called him "brave" for fighting against something that could have ruined his artistic side. HE IS A FUGITIVE, and a pedophile, 2 of the 5 worst things I can think of, along with rape, murder and cheating. The man does not deserve praise, he deserves condemnation, and I woud like some from the Attorney General Holder to do so.

Again, and not to belabor a point, he pled guilty...

Hey I do so as well, so no problem. I just wanted to make sure, that I'm not defending someone who pledged guilty already.

Except, in this case, the victim doesn't exactly feel that it's a big deal anymore. . .

Quote:
Polanski's victim is among those calling for the case to be tossed out.

Samantha Geimer filed court papers in January saying, "I am no longer a 13-year-old child. I have dealt with the difficulties of being a victim, have surmounted and surpassed them with one exception.

"Every time this case is brought to the attention of the Court, great focus is made of me, my family, my mother and others. That attention is not pleasant to experience and is not worth maintaining over some irrelevant legal nicety, the continuation of the case."

Polanski arrested in connection with 1970s sex charge - CNN.com
So the reality is that an overzealous prosecutor desperate to make a name for himself wants the case to go forward, even at the expense of causing further anguish to the victim--sounds more like a Kenneth Starrish rightwing nut than someone seeking legitimate justice.

Exactly where did was he honored and beloved by 'left-wing sleaze'?

Such histrionics really don't serve much purpose other than to occlude the actual nature of the case and his place in Hollywood.
