Roman Polanski's arrest

[Sweltered]

Interested to hear everyone's views on the matter. I must say I am disgusted that some well known film people such as Harvey Weinstein have come out in support of this pedophile. He confessed then fled the country, and everyone is whining about him being arrested. If he wasn't famous (ahem) would there be any condemnation of his arrest.

I hope he get his just desserts. Getting his balls roasted over a low flame for the next 25 years would be a start.

Agree with you, Sweltered.

I am failing to understand how anyone can give Polanski their support.
in yesterdays Independent -- article by Dominic Lawson ends up by asking the Polanski backers to think ---"if it were their 13 year old daughter who had been drugged and sodomised ,would they still feel that the perpetrator was in fact the victim ? "

the grand jury testimony of Samantha Galley ( taken in 1977) was unsealed in 2003 on instructions of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley - and makes horrific reading-- maybe the Polanski fans should have a look !

the man is a criminal and its been a crime he has taken this long to be brought to justice the man!
