He has one person to blame and that's himself. It is a simple bail jumping case. The guy fled. End of story.

an adult shouldn't be sleeping with a 13 year old period. doesn't matter if she was a whore or not. an adult shouldn't be sleeping with a 13 year old period He pled guilty and then ran, doesn't matter if she forgives him and says move on....He pled guilty

Nope, I'd have to go old school on you.
A shotgun, a preacher and then: "Welcome to the family Fletch! You can call me Dad" :1orglaugh

Welcome to america. this stupid americans dont know there laws are still backwards from the view of gay protestant christians. Same reason legal drinking age is at 21, but you let mentally unstable ppl own fire arms. Same reason marijuana is illegal because the bible say drugs are bad.

People have misconception that the what the law says is morally just and ethical. Little do stupid americans know that these laws were constructed by very intelligent people who knows their dumb american population will get out of control, so instead of saying "hey know your limit", they just make it into a law, and forbid you to do it. This is the same for religion. Why do muslims cannot eat pork? Well its cuz historically porks can't graze so its not really useful. Why muslims allow polygamy? Well cuz their men go to war, and women can't take care of themselves, so they need to remarry and bla blah

on and fucking on.

There is no right or wrong. Except shooting up school or killing ppl without reason, i still think thats fucked up.

And for the rest of you fucking retarded adult webmasters, Do you actually think adult industry is dying because of tubre sites? its because of you retards shooting the same boring shit nobody wants to buy


fuck you all. fuck you all.

That is my point entirely. The same standard should apply to everyone. If some fat local loser had slept with that girl under similar circumstances he would have done 10 years in the DOC (likely being subjected to violence and possible sexual assault the whole time).

I am not condemning Polsanski per se but rather a system where one class of defendant is treated differently than another. That is what makes me sick. :mad:

I agree 100%.

set up a half way house, Or housing for pedos in the neighbor hoods of those stars/directors who support him.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

He's a great filmmaker but he's a scum bag.

It's funny how Andrew Diceclay can make a few misogynistic comments and the feminazis want to cut off his pecker, but Polanski and Woody Allen pretty much crossed the line and you have bitches coming out of the woodwork to support these guys.

Goes to show you, it's not who you blow, it's you you fuck up the ass! :1orglaugh

Not in the 1970's he wouldn't have. Back then there were sane laws for how crimes were judged. A judge could take things on a case by case basis and make a decision. 9 times out of 10 the guy and the girl would have probably gotten married if it were some fat local loser in West Virginia or Alabama. lol

Now in 2009? It would have been prison instantly. The judge wouldn't even need to show up as he wouldn't have much to do except give a sentence out. And then Polanski would be a registered sex offender.

Kind of like a lot of all or our relatives a hundred years ago would now be called "pedos" and "sex offenders"

Different time, different culture.

If this were during the Roman Empire days, Polanski would have been given grief for fucking someone too OLD. lol And probably given double grief because it wasn't a boy.

The girl was drugged and raped. Its very different. Though I still don't agree with still developing young girls with 40 year old guys. Its just wrong. 99% of the time there is some taking advantage there.

Here is an article from Jan. of 2008 that talks a little more about it:
http://www.time.com/time/arts/articl...706557,00.html

And I keep thinking about the "drugged and raped" part.

Using a little common sense tells me that he was probably partying with her. In other words, instead of being completely sober and using his evil intentions to fuck her up...isn't it more probable that he was drinking the champagne and popped a qualude right along with her?

And as a former 13 year old myself in the 1970's...me and my friends did qualudes all the time. They were the BEST! You felt no pain at all on those babies. And you did get real horny and you felt great and then you passed out.

So I'm just gonna guess that they took a qualude, washed it down with champagne, fucked, and passed out. Then the girls family decided to cash in since he was famous.

Matter of fact I saw her on Larry King last night and she said she didn't want to see him go to jail and she acknowledged a large "undisclosed" amount of money that he gave her.

Stupid shit on his part all the way around. He's never done anything like it again and now he's an old man in his 70's getting thrown in prison for one night of partying like a fool over 30 years ago.

I know there's a lot of indignation...from people who have no part of what happened (the girl doesn't want any of this going on in her life, she's a well adjusted and wealthy woman in her 40's now)...but it kinda sucks that once again the U.S. looks like a goon squad to the rest of the world.

If we are going to take this view as a society about under-age sex...then we should just make it the death penalty and be done with it. At least it wouldn't look as dumb as the laws now where a 25 year old guy in college could be fucking his 16 year old girlfriend and end up as a "sexual predator" and have his entire life ruined.

Let's just kill 'em all. Lump the guys that like to fuck hot teen pussy right along with the sick fucks who rape babies. That's what we do now anyway. So let's just give 'em all the death penalty and quit fucking around.

He was taking photographs of her and he dropped something in her drink. Her mother should be arrested to for letting her go with him, but still. The girl doesn't want to pursue this but it's not really her choice. I know he had a rough time there cause of Charlie Manson and even some Poland issues before that, but come on.

She was thirteen and he stuck his dick up her ass. That should pretty much rap up everything this side of the mississippi and north of the mason/dixon even back in the 70's.

Add in the fact that he ran because the judge was pressured into reneging on the original deal and well...

Different punishments for different tax brackets I guess.

So fucking impressionable 13 year old girls is ok in your books? Even forgetting about the drug and rape thing, he should have been an adult and realize its not her or his best interest to fuck her.

No. You overlooked my statement that he made a stupid mistake. And you are theorizing that she is "impressionable" There are 60 year old women who are "impressionable" and at the same time there are 10 year olds that will pickpocket you and cut your throat.

You're generalizing all people together. Everyone doesn't grow or mature at the same rate. I had a buddy in school who at 12 years old had a full beard, sideburns, a hairy chest, pubic hair, and an 8 inch cock. When he walked through the locker room in gym class we were all scared to death! lol

And by the time he was 25 he was bald and fat. Now he looks like he could be my grandfather.

Just sayin...

But no, I wouldn't personally ever fuck a 13 year old girl. I think it was dumb on his part. But I don't think he lured her to his house with candy and ice cream either. He was a big celebrity and a well known figure. And teen girls are...well, teen girls. You have to watch them every second or they WILL go out and fuck somebody. I have 2 of them right here at home. And it's a nightmare. :1orglaugh

13 just seems so damn young to me. Even 25 and 16. I remember going to parties at 25 and there being a bunch of highschool girls there. They just seemed so young and immature.

Part of the problem with the case is despite all the alligations, he was in a position of authority. She wanted to be in movies and perhaps felt if she didn't do what he wanted then no stardom for her. Hell maybe she wanted to fuck him because she thought it would advance her career. There is just so much room for manipulation in these cases. You can't just say, oh you banged a 13 year old. Here is a slap on the wrist and a juice box just because the girl "may" be mature or a slut or whatever. I don't agree with throwing people in jail for life either but the message has to be sent that its wrong in some way.

I agree with what you're saying. Fact is he got scared and jumped bail. So now he finds himself looking at doing real jail time instead of the little bit that he got back then. Obviously anybody with any common sense knows better than to do what he did. But throw a qualude and some good pot and coke on top of it...and you're brain tends to take a few hours off. His sure did.

I guess the bottom line is...he's fucked, she gets to be on Larry King, the U.S. looks like a police state to the Europeans and I don't even know how the media in third world, middle eastern, and Asian countries are spinning it.

This just kinda seems like one of those things that the U.S. govt. should have just left alone.

I know that might sound crazy...but as intelligent people we need to be able to take things on a case by case basis. And sending the goon squad to "capture" an internationally acclaimed director while Bin Laden still runs around free just seems kinda dumb to me. But that's just my opinion.

One thing for sure...it was a nice job of directing the countries attention away from all the deals they are cutting with the pharmaceutical companies on "health care reform" and also getting the media to cover something other than the fact that so many people are unemployed...or that we are sending more troops to Afghanistan.

They had the Colosseum for the Roman populace to keep them entertained. We get stuff like this to keep our minds off of really important stuff I guess.

I wonder why porners are so passionate about this issue...

I'm not a "porner" and I'm not passionate about it. Just saw it on the news, saw this thread and found the conversation interesting.

What is a "porner" anyway? :1orglaugh

Oh...you mean people who produce porn? Or people that sell it? Or people that use it?

I'm as confused as a 13 year old on qualudes...

not exactly...
Judge was not to respect the sentenced agreed in the plea bargain ... and made it knowned...

101 rapist dwarves.

long time coming

Isn't this the same guy whose wife was murdered by the Manson Family while she was pregnant?

I say she looked 25 and he just had really bad luck. The law is the law however and we can't just let someone go off free because the girl looked older. There is a legal age for sex and that's just how it goes.

this is still goin? LOL ill help...

I think if *she looked 25* Polanski wouldnt have hit it ;)

Previous trips into Switserland were all done quick and dirty.
This time, they knew when he was arriving and got his schedule. So they knew where he was. Previous visits they just couldnt get him.

Plus, if she was 25 and she needed her mom's permission for a photo shoot then there were probably other issues surrounding special needs sex.

Yes and most of his family were killed by the Nazis.

Really? I heard he owns a home there.

I thought he owned a home there? Also he has been at hundreds of social gatherings with world leaders over the years as well as attending every film festival (like Cannes)

Quick check of Wiki:

"After fleeing to Europe following his 1977 U.S. conviction, Polanski continued to direct films, although there was nearly a seven-year break between 1979's Tess (a romantic drama adapted from Thomas Hardy's 1891 novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles, dedicated to the memory of his late wife, Sharon Tate) and 1986's Pirates, an adventure comedy. Later films include Frantic (1988), Death and the Maiden (1994), The Ninth Gate (1999), The Pianist (2002), and Oliver Twist (2005). The most notable of his later films is The Pianist, a World War II-set adaptation of the autobiography of the same name by Jewish-Polish musician Władysław Szpilman, whose experiences have similarities with Polanski's own (Polanski, like Szpilman, escaped the ghetto and the concentration camps, whilst family members did not). The film won three Academy Awards including Best Director (2002), the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or (2002), and seven French Césars including Best Picture and Best Director. He has also done occasional work in theatre."

Looks to me like he's been living freely in the open for over 30 years. Not sure how you go to Switzerland "dirty" to receive a film award at a big show....

Yes it is well documented and reported he specifically had to get the girls parents permission for the photo shoot which means he definitely not only KNEW her age, but KNEW she was UNDERAGE.

the guy even plead guilty, any argument is simply semantics from here on out.

:1orglaugh

Looking at news, this is everywhere... reading this article on it.

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...4549479.column

Polanski's defenders lose sight of the true victim

Q: Did you resist at that time?

A: A little bit, but not really because . . .

Q: Because what?

A: Because I was afraid of him.

That's Roman Polanski's 13-year-old victim testifying before a grand jury about how the famous director forced himself on her at Jack Nicholson's Mulholland Drive home in March of 1977.

from her testimony she admitted he gave her alcohol and qualudes LOL

sorry, but a 13 year old girl on alcohol and pills is not consenting LOL

Quoting again from the grand jury transcript, with the girl being questioned by a prosecutor:

Q: Did you take your shirt off or did Mr. Polanski?

A: No, I did.

Q: Was that at his request or did you volunteer to do that?

A: That was at his request.

She said Polanski later went into the bathroom and took part of a Quaalude pill and offered her some, as well, and she accepted.

Q: Why did you take it?

A: I don't know. I think I must have been pretty drunk or else I wouldn't have.

Q: When you got in the Jacuzzi, what were you wearing?

A: I was going to wear my underwear, but he said for me to take them off.

She says Polanski went back in the house and returned in the nude and got into the Jacuzzi with her. When he told her to move closer to him, she resisted, saying, "No. No, I got to get out."

He insisted, she testified, and so she moved closer and he put his hands around her waist. She told him she had asthma and wanted to get out, and she did. She said he followed her into the bathroom, where she told him, "I have to go home now."

Q: What did Mr. Polanski say?

A: He told me to go in the other room and lie down.

She testified that she was afraid and sat on the couch in the bedroom.

Q: What were you afraid of?

A: Him.

She testified that Polanski sat down next to her and said she'd feel better. She repeated that she had to go home.

Plus the argument of her not wanting the case pushed doesn't work for me. So, you have priests that raped kids decades ago run and hide. They drag things on for ages until the victims are grown and tired of talking about it and throw their hands up in frustration and say to have any case dropped. Isn't that more victimization from the abuser?

You also have to love adults saying that if a 13 year old has had sex before it is okay for you to sleep with them as an adult.

Of course she didn't bring up the fact she fucked DOZENS of other older men before. So please. She lied because she didn't want to look like the whore she was.

Why would it be okay for an adult to sleep with a child regardless of how many other men had abused her before you?

like gatorB above? LOL just ignore them

they will say whatever they can to justify his actions...

dont bother, gatorb is against pedos, until it comes to Polanski lol

"she was a whore" when used to describe a rape victim is done by only those with little to no compassion for the true victim.

she was 13, given alcohol and pills. In addition, Polanski admitted to the judge he knew she was 13.

So this argument really is just semantics, he PLEAD GUILTY. Who in their right mind would try and say he is innocent when he already plead guilty? LOL

And this "she fucked dozens" is bullshit, according to court case/articles, she admitted to having sex with HER BOYFRIEND of similar age, but not dozens of men LOL this is reaching and with no proof.
