What happened to the feminists?" Wow, Laslavic- you are one classy guy!(/sarcasm) If you knew any feminists, you'd know that most, if not all, are on your side in this particular case (although probably for very different reasons). Unfortunately, your misogynist ramblings likely lead most women (people) to avoid you, so you wouldn't know. And, to anyone calling this a case of "morals": This is not an example of American Puritanical values gone wrong. Unless the Puritans secretly championed the rights and autonomy of women. (They didn't). Women, girls, PEOPLE having a RIGHT to say what happens to their own bodies is NOT a moral issue, it is a human rights issue. Yes other people get away with this. That does not make what Polanski did any better. Perhaps the judge got away with what Polanski was accused of. That does not make what he did any better. Yes, there are other problems plaguing the world. This does not make what Polanski did any better! Finally, to those of you suggesting that Polanski got unfair treatment: I suggest you follow up on watching documentaries with some actual research on the justice system in Los Angeles County. If you are rich, white, and especially if you are famous, the system in extremely biased in your favor. To suggest that Polanski was treated "unfairly" in LA of all places is laughable.

It is amazing at all of the people that dont care that a 13 year old girl was raped. If he was some crack head living in harlem and raped a girl would the same supporters come to the rescue? The fact is that he raped her and pled guilty. He fled the conviction. She forgave him yes... but the law does not forgive. What kind of message are we sending to all of the other 13 year old girls out there that have been raped? You people that support this kind of act should be ashamed of yourselves. It makes me sad to know so many people who I look up to in the field of the arts are supporters of rape... Wow! It is amazing at all of the people that dont care that a 13 year old girl was raped.

The case is not a case of morals. Laws - rape (statutory or otherwise) and escape from justice - have been broken. 2. International film events are not extraterritorial in nature - only diplomatic missions are extraterritorial, and even diplomats are triable and punishable for crimes in a foreign country once they are sent back to their countries. The petitioners clearly consider themselves diplomats, which they are not. The fact that filmmakers may present their work and travel freely and safely at and to film events, as every person may do at and to other unrestricted public properties, does not make them diplomats. 3. The fact that Switzerland is a neutral country does not make it a lawless country. Its neutrality applies in times of war and peace, not in the application of treaty and criminal laws. Its war neutrality does not preclude it from signing a necessary extradition treaty with another country. The fact that Polanski 'assumed that he could travel without hindrance' shows only his blatant disregard for the law of any country. Everyone, including he, knew that once he was outside France and Poland (due to French and Polish laws), any country may arrest and extradite him under its own laws. 4. Any notion that because a person puts up a huge bail, s/he definitely will not flee is an utter fallacy, whether or not in view of past conduct. 5. US-French relations have nothing to do with Polanski drugging and raping a child. One would think that these filmmakers have enough money to hire a proper lawyer to draft their petition, if they were serious about it. 1. The case is not a case of morals.

He admitted to unlawfully having sex as part of a plea bargain the judge tried to renege on. This girl was very sexually mature for her age, even the judge said “the prosecutrix was a well-developed young girl, who looked older than her years, and regrettably not unschooled in sexual matters.” This was clearly a case of consensual sexual relations Those of you who think this is the same as rape should watch Oleanna. Can any of you remember what you were like at 13? I know I was thinking about sex pretty much 90% of the time. Many 13 year olds - boys and girls- have sex and very often with those older than them. Whether its 5 years or 20 years is irrelevant. The issue is 'effective consent' not whether you like or dislike someones sexual preference or activity. Free Roman Polanski.

I could enjoy Sean Connery's work, even though he apparently doesn't have a problem with slapping a woman. I might not like it, but I can separate the man from his work. Basically, it all comes down to your threshold of pain. To me, child abuse is the where I will absolutely put my line in the sand. It is the most vicious, sickening and coward action, to attack a young child. To not feel remorse. To not face your own actions but run away when you don't like the consequences. We have a duty to protect the innocence of children. Once again, shame on all who signed this petition and feel Polanski shouldn't be punished!

He never contested that his victim told him "no" repeatedly, or that he drugged her. He only confessed to a lesser charge through a plea agreement. As to the victim wanting to drop the case, it is because she is tired of all the publicity her family gets every time Polanski whines about not being able to go to a certain country to film. BTW, courts do not drop cases because victims want them dropped. Or else every case involving Stockholm Syndrome would never be tried. Jarre, actually, he pretty much did admit to raping her.

Defending Polanski in the face of his full admission of drugging and raping a 13 year-old, fleeing charges because he thought he was too important to face the consequences of his actions, boasting to Martin Amis that "EVERYONE wants to F*** little girls!" and complaining how HE is the victim (in true sociopathic form) by not being able to work in Hollywood for 30 years, while never ONCE saying that what he did was unfathomably wrong, has nothing of importance to say about humanity.

It will be much wiser, less obstinate and more generous to leave this exceptional man alone. Dear Roman you have my full support."
Defending Polanski in the face of his full admission of drugging and raping a 13 year-old, fleeing charges because he thought he was too important to face the consequences of his actions, boasting to Martin Amis that "EVERYONE wants to F*** little girls!" and complaining how HE is the victim (in true sociopathic form) by not being able to work in Hollywood for 30 years, while never ONCE saying that what he did was unfathomably wrong, has nothing of importance to say about humanity.
Sure, admire his work. But stop with the pathetic kowtowing to a predator, please.

The man has no remorse for what he did as evidenced by interviews he has given. I urge you to read the full transcript of Ms. Gailey's testimony! This man should never have been allowed to go free without punishment...and 45 days of evaluation does not constitute punishment! I sympathize with Ms. Gailey's feelings, however, this man should not be free to victimize other children. Ask any rape victim and we will tell you that we would give anything if the rapist had been prosecuted and locked up forever before we were victimized by them! What was done to that 13 year old victim should not be perpetrated on any child. It was not just statutory rape, it was rape-rape because she said no!

Mr. Polanski is not a threat to anyone. He is not a sexual predator – he is a now a philanthropist.

He should not have to go on trial again for a 30 year old statutory rape, but should have to answer to the flight.

Polanski was originally indicted for 4 felonies, and the girl agreed to have him plea guilty to statutory rape in order to avoid the circus of the trial.

Please don't stop here, the penal system is full of people that can only get it up when they force barely pubescent kids. High recidivism can't be an excuse to keep these people locked up, all victims will come forward if it happens again, and we don't need to pay any heed Kinski's real birth certificate.

The judge in Polanski's case acted like a common crook. He should have been prosecuted as well, even if no teenagers were involved in his misdeeds. He never was. The judge certainly didn't give A DAMN about the girl. Just ask her. But then again, the judge apparently liked some very young women as well. Do a search online and you'll find the filmmaker's site for the film. People keep affirming that Polanski did this and did that as if they were there at the time. Every story has more than one side. That type of self-righteousness is sickening and even more dangerous than what Polanski did because it affects society as a whole, whether the issue is rape or anything else.

The judge went back on his word because he was afriad of public opinion like yours. Roman was charged with sex with minor, not real rape. He never admited to raping anyone." Not real rape? Drugging a girl, disregarding her repeated "No", her faking an asthma attack to get him to stop is not real rape? He plead guilty to a lesser charge of unlawful sex with a minor because he knew they had enough evidence to fry his ass if it went to trial. Furthermore, plea bargains are totally up to the judge, if he felt the deal was too lenient than he was perfectly in his legal right to not honor the deal. "His plea bargain didn’t fall apart.
