Well, isn't this way past the statute of limitations? It can't be more than 7 years by a long shot and obviously this happened a long ass time ago. (I forgot that the case has already been prosecuted and it's at the sentencing phase) Plus, the victim herself has said to exonerate him of his charges. I would feel completely different if she was seeking his arrest. He did exacerbate it by not showing up to his court dates though. Oh well, I guess we'll see how this goes.
yeah she might have wanted it like 30 years ago. Time heals many wounds, so her not wanting his arrest doesn't really have much to do with it anymore.

"he went down and he started to perform cuddliness"
- from the testimony
"cuddliness"
anyways the testimony certainly sounds terrible. but it's just one side

@bittman
Wow... your wrong.
And btw. Europe is WAY more important to Switzerland than America...

An interesting article here about how Europeans and Americans see the Polanski issue differently.
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1926508,00.html
I'm not sure I buy the author's generalizations about Europeans believing rich and famous people deserve to be treated differently. Anyone from Europe have their own thoughts?

You wanna star flame war or what? Where do you see hypocrisy? Did Tusk say that Polanski is innocent? No? Then WTF. Maybe UK people have problems with jumping to conclusions then
|
Sorry, maybe hypocrisy the wrong word, irony, perhaps? It's funny regardless of nationality that Poland (along with France, if I hadn't remembered incorrectly?) is defending someone who purportedly had sex with a child, whilst a day later their PM passes an awesome law against pedophiles. The timing is great :D I'm not gonna go into who's right or wrong with the Polanski thing :p
Edit:
Right or wrong, in that a friend of mine brought up good points about whether he ever actually had sex or not, etc. Too much detail and in-depth thinking/scouring required on a topic I'm not THAT interested in ^^;

question: do you think prison exists for rehabilitation or for punishment?

"The French view Polanski as an artist and celebrity and feel he deserves a different kind of treatment than ordinary people, which just isn't an option in the U.S.," says Ted Stanger, an author and longtime resident of France who has written extensively on the differing public views and attitudes across the Atlantic.
That's wrong. People want him to be released because of the statute of limitations.
Nobody here want a different treatment for famous people lol ( Well maybe Mitterrand, some so-called artists and our midget president but not the average citizen ).

Artist my ass.
The Pianist is a mediocre piece of work -- typical holocaust sob story.
|
LOL how can you NOT get punished for fucking a non-willing 13year old in the ass?
Hope he spends a long time in jail.
|
Btw what ever happened to the social stigma of being a pedophile?

He was a Holocaust survivor, his wife was murdered by Charles Manson, he had sex with a thirteen year old girl, and he is an award-winning film director. I would be happy to be able to say just one of those things.

Lol? That's stupid. Why in hell would anyone in Europe believe that?
Back on topic. JAIL. Some crimes must be pursued until the very end of the life of the doer.
Btw, anyone read the thing about the 9yo kid assraped by a mofo psycho in Korea? Just for the thoughts I had of what I would do to a rapist like that, I think I might be heading to hell when I die.
