As the debate rages over whether Roman Polanski should be bought to book over his raping of a child back in 1977, where he did actually plead guilty. I saw this printed in a newspaper and thought it summed up the situation perfectly.
“You rape someone — you go to jail If you rape someone, and then flee the country, you get even more jail time. [Polanski] was into his forties by this point, and that not only makes him an adult, but someone who was extremely aware of the consequences of his actions. Time to pay. It’s that simple.”
The bleeding hearts looking to get him freed should read the above then ask themselves if they would feel the same if it had been their daughter.
It was not just a case of simply having sex the charges read like this “Committing a lewd act upon a person less than 14, rape of a minor, rape by use of a drug, oral copulation, and sodomy”.
I believe the US will try to prosecute him the alternative is to concede that there are 2 sets of laws in place one for the rich and famous and another set for the rest.
What irritates me immensely is the sheer number of 'celebs' backing this fugitive.

How can they show allegiance to a man who is effectively a fugitive of US law. Incredible. I wonder if these celebs would be just as supportive if it were not a fellow 'luvvie'
It's a different plant.
Bring Polanski to the US and sentence him. Take into account that he was 40 when he committed the crime, and also that he fled and evaded justice for over 30 years - and sentence the man to a long term behind bars.
