I think it’s great he was arrested but unfortunately I doubt he will do any time. As far as he not ever doing it again, once a pedophile always a pedophile. He most likely got smarter after being caught. He probably found it easy to get 13 year old girls over in Europe. I just can’t figure out the plea bargain. Was he really only suppose to spend 45 days in jail for all of the horrendous things he did to that poor girl? He ran when the judge decided to rescind the plea bargain. At least the judge had some sense. Not sure about any one else in this case. And I can see the victim wanting to put it behind her but she should realize it’s not just about her but also about any future victims of his.

Fuck Polanski and fuck France. This guy raped a 13-year-old girl. He admitted to it and worked out a deal. When the deal didn’t look that sweet anymore, he ran
Yep, when I heard he had been arrested my first thought was good. I really hope he does jail time, but we’ll see. He did the crime, he should do the time. He is a pedofile, who cares what else he did with his life. Look at all the other “good” guys who are charged regardless….priests, counselors, teachers, etc.

Angelica Huston, who was in the same house when this happened claimed that the girl looked to be about 25! If she was 13, then she was obviously of a pubescent age, so he is not technically a pedophile, he’d be a hebephile. The girl was paid off by Polanski years ago, and I seriously doubt that he knew she was that young when this happened. He’s never repeated it, at least that I’ve heard, and has carried on with his life for over 30 years without a repeat of that behavior. The true insult is that even though the girl has moved on with her life with her own family and children and Polanski has been exiled to France, Los Angeles hasn’t moved on. They string this schmuck up by his balls but Michael Jackson dances on the roof of a limousine in front of the court house after allegedly banging little boys in the ass while plying them with Jesus Juice, and walks away from the whole thing scot free, only to become a martyr in death. Tis a fucked up world indeed.

As a father, I would have followed him to France and dragged his sorry ass back home to face the music. Polanski made sure that day that this poor girl was drugged and 100% thoroughly molested.
But we can’t just blame France. Look at Michael Jackson, a hardcore drug addict whose penis was described in detail to police by one of his alleged child victims. There are a lot of scumbags who are good at their jobs who will be protected by those who adulate them for their work. In both the MJ and Polanski cases, money was paid to the victims to shut up, or apologize.
The fact that Ms. Geimer has repeatedly come out to bury the case (for her own peace, and that of her family) is quite significant. However, when she was 13, a crime was committed against her by a sexual predator.
The reason we put these assholes behind bars is to protect our sons and daughters from them. As a mother of three, she must realize this, and using the same strength that has allowed her to live a normal life these 30 years, allow Polanski to be extradited and prosecuted in California.
Polanski’s work isn’t going anywhere. His talent is obvious, and the accolades are well-deserved. He’s also had a long and prosperous life since he fled. He escaped the Krakow ghetto during WWII, having seen terrible, unspeakable crimes. He should be brave now as well, and face the music for his.

I never said that she looked 25, Angelica Huston did. But no, she looks like a sweet little school girl on her way to higher education. Something tells me she didn’t look like this when she was hanging out and partying with Hollywood hotshots, and partying into the wee hours with them. Maybe she showed up to court in pigtails and holding onto her dolly, I have no idea, but I would bet she didn’t look like the sweet little girl in the picture above. I wonder where her parents were?

It makes no difference if the victim has “moved on” after accepting her lump sum or not. Had this been you or I, we’d have to pay the piper. No ifs, ands or buts. Polanski should man up and pay his dues instead of using his fame to avoid it. As should all famous perps.

And for the record, she was doing a Vogue shoot that he was in charge of. Her parents gave permission for the shoot. I highly doubt he didn’t know she was 13, given that she had to have fucking PERMISSION.
Geimer said her mother had given Polanski permission to photograph her for a fashion magazine. She said she drank champagne that Polanski gave her during the photo shoot but became uncomfortable when he asked her to lie down in a dark bedroom.
“I said ‘no.’ I didn’t fight him off,” she said. “I said, like, ‘No, no. I don’t want to go in there. No, I don’t want to do this. No,’ and then I didn’t know what else to do. We were alone, and I didn’t know what else would happen if I made a scene. So I was just scared, and after giving some resistance, I figured well, I guess I’ll get to come home after this.”
She didn’t tell her mother what happened, only her boyfriend. Her sister overheard that telephone conversation and told her mother, who called police, she said.
Polanski was charged with rape and five other felonies in 1977 after being accused of having sex with Geimer at the home of Jack Nicholson while the actor was away. Polanski pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, for which he was to be sentenced to time served.

Exactly what I was going to come in and say. It was never proven Micheal Jackson did anything illegal (even if he did) and he never wavered from professing his innocence. He was found innocent. Polanski, however, was not. He just decided he didn’t like that his ass may actually see some prison and he fled.

Not just f’ing a little girl but also being a calculated predetory rapist AND AN ADMISSION of guilty. His actions were no different then pedophiles making “sex trips.” Or predators who seek children in vulnerable situations like single mothers w/out a support system etc. Or predators that manipulate the system to place themselves in areas of trust. For most, they didn’t just happen to end up around children. They intentionally PLANNED, STRATEGIZED and ORGANIZED ways to gain access to out children. They congregate, discuss and share tips on what will work and what won’t. They share with each other places where they can surround themselves with childre. They encourage each other and try and justify their depravity with each. There are sites that instruct the PREDATORS how to access children. Polanski abused his position as a celebrity and powerful person in the ent. industry to gain access to this young girl.
If the charges are dropped then that’s one more victory for PREDATORS.

The entire point is being missed here! I know a lot of people here feel that no 13 year old is ever capable of giving consent, but I think some of them can, and these things should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
But…
She said “No“. That is rape. Period. Whether she was 13 or 30, he got her drunk, fed her pills, and didn’t stop when she said “No”. He should absolutely do time for that. He’s not a pedophile (this girl did not look like a child when the crime was commited), but he is a rapist.
I really can’t believe everyone’s so caught up with her age ( and Michael Jackson) that they’re overlooking the fact that he raped her.
This is exactly why I object to people using the term “rape” to refer to cases of consensual sex between adults and teenagers. I think “rape” should reserved for cases like this, where one party was not consenting.

Polanski didn’t flee simply because he didn’t like where things were going, he fled because the Judge was unethical- The Prosecutor on the case has spoken out that the Judge broke every rule of ethical conduct when he excepted a plea then before Polanski got the courthouse to turn himself in the Judge bowed to political pressure (AFTER excepting the deal and the plea).
And just to be correct Loretta Lynn was married and having babies at 13yrs so yes a 13 year old does have the understanding to give consent.

Even if that were the case, it does not mean Polanski has the right to skip bail and not return for over 30 years. He plead guilty to the charge of fucking a 13-year-old in the ass and did not like the fact that he may serve over 40 days in jail.
And just to be correct Loretta Lynn was married and having babies at 13yrs so yes a 13 year old does have the understanding to give consent.
That was 1949 rural Kentucky involving a girl willfully marrying another man and starting a family – not 1977 California in which a 43-year-old Oscar winning director fucks a 13-year-old girl in the ass after giving her drugs and alcohol.

And what crime would that be, exactly? And is this infamous crime worse than raping a child?

Yeah, and women who get their teeth knocked out by there husbands feel the same. It’s why a victim has no say in how someone is sentenced for the crimes they committed. And you know what? This lady wouldn’t be continually victimized had Polanski not shot a load in her ass and ran.

I have to disagree with this statement. First, scientifically speaking studies are showing that the part of the brain adults use to make decisions/judgement calls are not developed in teenagers, some well into their late teens and early twenties. Which scientist say account for some of their disregard to rules or selfishness. Here is a site you an read for more information http://www.suite101.com/blog/pytel/teenage_brain_not_developed
So to couple a 13 year old child with an adult puts the adult in a overwhelming powerful position over the child not only in experience, authority and physically but also biologically.
Second you are fucking sick to state that a 13 year old child has the ability to consent to sexual activity with some almost 4x their age. SMH

Could be wrong, but the way I understand it is that she already testified it was rape, he pled out to a with a mighty fine deal, and at the last minute (?) learned judge might not have been on the up and up. So he went to France where he knew he would be safe (probably already had that safety net in place).
Polanski kept in no secret that he was going to Switzerland to accept this whatever award. Did he want to see if US would pick him up? Of course we would and did. That tells me either he thinks he’s smarter than most or he was ready to get caught. Either way, I hope he’s shipped back here and gets what he deserves.
The victim stated she doesn’t want this all dragged up again, which I completely understand since it affects not only her but other family members. I wonder why, when she was of age, she didn’t change her name, her identity? Back then, it was really simple. Really easy to even change your SS#. (I know someone who did back in the mid-70’s – a guy I went to school with who’s dad was a cop who committed suicide — he didn’t want to be known as “that guy”.)
Guess she thought nothing would ever come of it after so long. This can be done under the radar, even now, even easier in the 70’s. She could’ve even made up some bogus reason. I know I would have.

It is nice to read that what we have seen coming from France regarding this case isn’t a belief held by the majority of them who give a shit about this.
Of the 30,000 participants in an online poll by the French daily Le Figaro, more than 70 percent said Mr. Polanski, 76, should face justice. And in the magazine Le Point, more than 400 letter writers were almost universal in their disdain for Mr. Polanski.
And not all celebrities are standing behind him. Luc Besson (one of my favorite directors who just got a little more of my respect – a fact he should be proud of) stated “…there is one justice, and that should be the same for everyone.”

Yup, I agree with you. I don’t care WHEN he did it, the point is, he did it and he admitted to it. I read the transcripts a while back, and was fucking DISGUSTED. So what if he has made great films? He raped a child and ran away from the consequences. He doesn’t deserve special treatment! He’s already lived 30 years without any, so why should he continue to do so? Fuck him. I do feel for the victim, and I totally see where she’s coming from in wishing that the media would leave her alone, BUT, she needs to understand that this case is about more than just her now. This case has the potential to set a precedent for other people who think they are above the law just because they are famous, or old, or what the fuck ever else.
Fuck Roman Polanski. You can’t ply a 13 year old girl with drugs and alcohol and anally rape her and expect to just get away with it. And as for Anjelica Huston, gross. Really gross. Defending a child rapist? Let’s hope her feelings about it have changed over time.
