So are you saying he shouldn’t go to prison because he survived the Holocaust?

This is about him. It’s about the fact that rapists usually aren’t prosecuted to the full extent of the law, especially if they’re famous. He needs to be extradited to demonstrate that famous men don’t get a pass on rape. He needs to be extradited to demonstrate that people who have had shitty things happen in their…

Actually, do you know what I’d prefer to his extradition and time spent in jail? I’d just love it for people stop pretending that he’s a fucking genius. He makes movies. At best, he makes serviceable movies but for the most part, he makes shitty movies. I’ve only seen Chinatown (the first, but not the last, movie to…

Thank you for reminding us all just what level of shitheel we’re dealing with here.

Dammit, he needs to do jail time. He has gotten away for far too long and has been coddled by his hollywood pervert-loving friends.

I had no idea. What a POS. (Who still moans that he’s the victim!)

that is so disgusting. I fucking hate everyone.

I understood, but even now peope use what happened to his wife and child as an excuse.

Sympathy for a guy who didn’t think through the likely consequences of his drugging and raping a child — because once those consequences came to light, they were just too much for him to bear? Um, no.

You know he should have thought of that before raping a child.

BS. His lawyer could have told the judge and the judge would have the option to send Polanski to some other prison. Cali has more than one prison.

Since Polanski was actually charged (multiple counts) and plead guilty to one charge, I suspect that Allen defenders would simply highlight that the accusations against him never made it to a court of law as further “evidence” of his innocence. Just my guess.

Touché.

He’s not a woman so...

Obviously, yes, but if anyone on the planet deserves internet rage, it’s this guy.

we are about 40 years too late for that :-/

I wish so so so badly that the internet’s rage will be as quick and swift on this douchebag as it was on the Cincinnati gorilla mom.

I *want* to believe that this could actually happen, but if he’s gotten away with this for 40+ years, I am skeptical that this will be the arrow of justice piercing this dude’s freedom run. In othe words, I’m not holding my breath. But, I very badly want to be surprised with a positive outcome here.

Really, there is little I can think of that would be more satisfying than for Polanski to finally be extradited and serve his time.

I thought a party backed by the Catholic Church would applaud a guy who molested a minor
