Polanski Accused Again

Statute of Limitations; this thing happened half a century ago

40 years ago and now she remembers? Must need that tabloid money.

R1 - Please tell us more about Swiss law.

He's long been rumored to have an interest in girls in their early teens, and to have moved to France because the age of consent there is (or was) 14. His pal Jack Nicholson was rumored to have spent a lot of time hanging out there, because they could meet so many 14-year-old aspiring models in Paris.

Polanski is ten thousand kinds of creep.

Wish this rancid old cunt would drop dead already. x

He went to France because they protect criminals.

R6 Well to be fair Americans haven't prosecuted a single person for the illegal invasion of Iraq. Is France really worse? I don't think so.

He's so disgusting.

R7, shall we go back to France and the Nazis?

Has R1 consulted with barristers about Swiss law? Or at least revealed how he's such a European legal mind? Please...

He actually raped me while I was reading this

So does he just constantly rape?

No more than the average guy.

Today I just ran into Emmanuelle Seigner, his wife. He married her when she was 23, he was 56! Of course they're both 30 years older now...

But, he's a great artist who has paid for his crimes.

Oh yeah, he skipped out before actually being imprisoned or penalized in any way.

If Mr. P grew a bushy mustache and cut his unruly hair, he could almost pass for Joseph Stalin.

I’m so sick of this shit. Leave him alone, he’s almost dead anyways, and all of this happened wins ago. He’s a great artist. I don’t see anybody busting down doors to have any of the thousands of rappers and major league athletes out there who are accused of rape arrested. It’s curious.

The rationale behind this always amazes me.

He's only being pursued because HE skipped out before ANY penalty was imposed. The only reason people are still after him is that he has fought tooth and nail to avoid the penalty for decades.

This would have been over 30 years ago if he had simply not skipped out and actually accepted that he committed a crime - a crime that apparently he continued to commit for years with other people. If nothing else, he wouldn't have been running around free to continue perpetrating the SAME crime if he had gone to jail back in the 1970s - you know, when he was in his late 40s, rather than his 80s.

What I will say is that the judge's behavior which precipitated his run is highly questionable and had the judge stuck to the plea deal, Polanski would not likely have made a run for it. A 50 year sentence would have been outrageous since murderers get lighter sentences.

Sometimes, all that can be done to someone who gets away with a crime or crimes, is to bring social pressure to bear.

The Polanski case still rankles me, because it's a case of a rich bastard using his money and position to effectively put himself above the law. He's used his ability to pay for lawyers and to move from country to country, and felt free to commit more crimes throughout. Polanski is one evil little bastard, and a precursor to the legal evils of Trump's America, where there's one law for the rich and another for the poor.

Polanski did what Oscar Wilde was too STUPID to do.

That's nuts. Was this in Paris? I've seen a few of her movies. I was just watching The Diving Bell and the Butterfly a couple of days ago.

Forgot to write that my response was meant for r14

He was born in France.

Not sure what the point of obsessing over this case is after all these decades have past. Far worse people exist in this planet who don't get a quarter of public outrage. Strange how people (mainly Americans ) reserve so much outrage over sex abuse but seem to shrug their shoulders at far worse injustices. Rape is bad but so are a great deal of things in this world .

He’s a dirty, rapey child fucker. Always has been. Always will be. Skipped out before he could do his punishment. He’s a fucking pussy ass wimp.

Roman Polanski is like five foot four, I don’t think he could have overpowered and raped an eighteen year old girl. Hell, he had to drug the thirteen year old girl just to rape her.

Resident rape consultant at R26.

This sick fuck drugged a 13 year old and fucked her in the ass so she wouldn't get pregnant with the evidence against him. Hitler should have baked him along with his relatives.

R28 the Jew-hating cunt perfectly illustrates why there is unrelenting persecution of Polanski in the US and Europe.

Only rapist Jews R29. Of which there seem to be a disproportianate number.

Also, only a Jew could admit to raping a child and think of himself as the victim.

Reading this thread reminds me of the stoning scene in Monty Python's "Life of Brian" ... with just a tiny difference that the women pretending to be men are actually men.

Fuck this guy. He crept on Natasja Kinski too although given the shit that poor girl saw in her own home I doubt she would have recognised a perv if he was fucking her in the ass. Tatum O'Neil also wrote about him inviting her and Melanie Grifith to his house as teenagers and screening Japanese arthouse porn. Who knows what he did do to unknown actresses.

It probably wanst rape-rape!

To me, the point of continuing to pursue him is that it signals that you can't evade the law because you're famous or rich.

If we just let it go, how many other powerful, famous, and rich people will think they are above the law or that if they hideout long enough, they will be welcomed back with open arms.

I'm not making a slippery slope argument. I'm saying that we need to draw a clear line in the sand that affirms that people are not above the law. There is already a crisis of faith in the justice system both from attacks by cheeto and his minions and the appearance of bias, as well as actual misconduct.

I'm sure the catholic church would LOVE for people to just forget about stuff like this that happened years ago.

Why are you explaining this to that pedo apologist? You think he doesn't know that convicted criminals don't get to run away and hope we forget?
