It is not up to the woman (who was a 13 year old minor at the time of the rape, sodomy, illegal intoxication and drugging) to determine whether her assaulter should answer to the crime, which is exactly why there are laws to prevent that from happening--criminals answer to society also, and there are many reasons victims are manipulated into not prosecuting. She got her money so who cares about justice? Selfish! Well, then let's go back to the days of the Wild West when people just settled between them with money or murder? What about the average assaulter without millions and status to pay off the victim? There are cases today of this same crime and people jump all over the criminal! What reasoning is there to protect or support someone who did the terrible things he did to a child???

I think if the woman doesn't want to go ahead with the case, then maybe it shouldn't go ahead? She already received a settlement. It seems like the whole affair is just being dragged out for publicity to me. <a href="http://www.dontbeaplum.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Don't Be a Plum</a> I don't know what to think.

What I can't understand is, how did Polanski manage to evade the law all these years with the so called technology of cameras and GPS, etc. There is just NO way that one can hide from the law with all of technology that is out there. Something is just screwy here. I think the authorities DID know where he was hiding all these years. And one has to question as to why did they decide to arrest him NOW and not arrest him from years ago? Not to mention that this is going to cost taxpayers money for a trial that will drag on for years. This is another example of how there is no such thing as "justice" in the justice system in the USA. Criminals go free while the innocent and victims get sent to prison.

It was against her will= rape. She stated that she tried to get him to stop, yet he claims it was consensual (of course); then why the alcohol and drugs, alone in someone else's house? His excuse is that he thought she was 18? So, in his mind it is okay to rape, sodomize an adult woman? Hope his wife has enjoyed this. As far as the comment "So why now, all of a sudden, is an elderly man grabbed off a plane on a Saturday night and stuffed into jail?" Is this person delusional? Polanski ran to France when he was required to appear in court--He already admitted to the crime. He got old because he had decades of freedom from the penalty. And I doubt they grabbed him off the plane and stuffed him anywhere. This poor elderly man jetting into town--off to his "lifetime acheivement" ceremony instead is finally caught and will be forced to answer to his criminal "acheivement" he thought he escaped. He actually believes it should be dismissed! It's about time he answers for his drugging and raping, sodomizing and molestation of a 13-year- old. It was against her will= rape.
