http://www.courant.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-eu-switzerland-pol anski,0,1430898.story FILM DIRECTOR ROMAN POLAŃSKI, A PARIS-BORN POLSIH JEW, WAS ARRESTED IN ZURICH WHERE HE WAS TO HAVE RECEIVED A PRIZE AT A FILM FESTIVAL. BACK IN 1978 THE US HAD REQUESTED HIS DETENTION ON ARRIVAL FOR THE STATUTORY RAPE OF A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL. ANY COMMENTS?

Grzegorz_: and disgusting Polish pedophile... Any proof? Polonius3: ANY COMMENTS? What could we say? Nobody knows what happened back then.

The 13-year-old was made up and decked out to look like what today are known as little ******, and Polański got her drunk and was probably drunk himself or maybe high on something. He later plea-bargained and admitted to sexual relations with the minor, but fled the US when it turned out the judge had changed his mind. That's all I remmeber.

Polonius3:

The 13-year-old was made up and decked out to look like what today are known as little ******,

So ****ing what? If I saw a 16 year-old looking like that, I still wouldn't go near (even though that would be legal) - some of us understand the meaning of words like "boundaries" and "generation gap", others don't.

Polonius3:

and Polański got her drunk and was probably drunk himself or maybe high on something.

What's a guy in his 40s doing getting drunk/high with a 13 year-old in the first place??

Polson:

What could we say? Nobody knows what happened back then.

Polonius3:

If the above is all true, it appears that he admitted it, and got away with it. Until now.

mafketis: PARIS-BORN JEWISH POLE Does it matter where he is from? If he is guilty then he is a scumbag, where he comes from is not relevant.

He already admitted having sex with the 13 year old. After getting her drunk and giving her drugs - She said that, despite her protests, he performed oral sex, intercourse and sodomy on her. Iam sure that after hiding out in France for the last 30 years he will welcome this opportunity to put his side of the story forward......

I forgot to undo the shift lock after typing the headline which I type in caps. I am not a touch typist so when I looked up at what I had wirrten it said things like pOLAŃSKI and it was easier to just captialise the 'P' rather than re-type the whole item. Laziness!

http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/movies/news/Article.aspx?cp-documentid =149941558&GT1=61502, here's another clip.

He pled guilty, that speaks volumes. What I want to know is why he managed to evade capture for all those years. Penalties tend to be quite stiff (if you excuse the pun) and 31 years is totally unacceptable by the authorities.

Oh, btw, was he a priest also? He might find his type there. There's always confession and absolution :)

He has always said 'that the girl was sexually experienced and consented' to having sex with him.

Polanski was arrested in the late 1970s and charged with giving drugs and alcohol to a 13-year-old girl and having unlawful sex with her at Jack Nicholson’s Hollywood home.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/switzerland/6236962/R oman-Polanski-arrested-in-Switzerland-over-sex-with-underage-girl.html

I think they should lock this pedo up. I don't care if she did consent. He, like many other sexual preditors, plied his victim with drugs and alcohol then abused her.

He's a sick pervert and should go to prison.

Sep 27, 09, 20:38 - Thread attached on merging: Polanski arrested in Switzerland, faces extradition to US. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090927/ap_on_en_mo/eu_switzerland_polansk i Wow, it looks like they finally got him after 30 years. Do you think he will be extradited this time around?

30 years? If everyone knows his whereabouts it's ridiculous that he fled for so long. Justice should still be served even if the victim was paid off. Finally, his apprehension. Now, let's see if due process proceeds or if he gets off with a technicality. It might be hard to proceed if the victim doesn't want justice?

30 years is nothing compared to another well-known fugitive, Stefan Schechter, Adam Michnik's brother. A Stalinist 1950s desk-top murderer, he sent Polish patriots to their death and then evaded justice by escaping to Sweden where he remains in hiding to this day.

The will to catch him likely isn't there then, Pol3. Interpol would have had him by now.

Polson: Grzegorz_: and disgusting Polish pedophile... Any proof? He pleaded guilty. Polish or not, he drugged and sodomised a 13 year old girl. If he was some sort of chav on a council estate he'd be locked up with the other nonces. Being a first class icon of Polish cinema shouldn't mean he can escape his crimes.

Didn't he try to have the guilty verdict removed in court recently in Los Angeles? That's probably why they got him after all these years, because he tried to get out of it and they wanted to get even. They've probably been watching him since then and knew he was going to be at the airport.

To my knowledge, it was he who pled guilty. If he didn't know she was 13, that's his problem. Too many have sympathies with criminals. You see it with money launderers too, just watch Mike Ruppert's presentation on that.

The point is, he has lived 31 years of his life and has been allowed to enjoy the lifestyle of a successful director. Is that fair?

A final point, shouldn't the statute of limitations apply here? The relevant time has lapsed in my opinion. Periods of prescription/prescriptive periods rather, oops!

Any truth in the rumour that Radosław Sikorski is trying to get him released ?

How long was his original sentence? If he would have gone to prison, he probably would have been out long ago.

shewolf: Didn't he try to have the guilty verdict removed in court recently in Los Angeles? She tried to stop the court action, because Polański is a celebrity and every few months the story of her being sexually abused was in celebrity magazines for her neighbours, her children and their schoolfriends to read.

there is a lot of half truths in this thread.. you all ought to look up some of this stuff first. thanks

Are you playing 'ask the expert' here, plk123? Why do you assume that people don't know? Trust me, this isn't such a complicated case if you know other areas of law well.

plk123: you all ought to look up some of this stuff first What I looked up said: He got a 13 year old drunk on champagne. Gave a 13 year old illegal drugs to get her drowsy. Raped her. Pled guilty to having sex with a minor. What am I missing ?

Trust me, this isn't such a complicated case if you know other areas of law well. right and the facts are easy to find. and i assume nothing.

The facts are easy if you are resourceful and know how, plk123. Well, it's good that you aren't presumptious :) ;)

Because jews are jews first, followed by the nationality of the country they reside in!
