Roman Polanski attends a film premiere in Paris, France, in June. The Academy Award-winning director pleaded guilty in 1977 to having sex with a 13-year-old girl in the United States. He has lived in France for decades to avoid being arrested if he enters the U.S. He declined to collect his Academy Award for Best Director in person when he won it for "The Pianist" in 2003. He was en route to the Zurich Film Festival, which is holding a tribute to him, when he was arrested by Swiss authorities, the festival said. Polanski was nominated for best director Oscars for "Tess" and "Chinatown," and for best writing for "Rosemary's Baby," which he also directed. cnn.com

He and the involved girl have both asked that the charges be dismissed and I think the Judge over the case said he'd do it if he showed up to the trials. Edited By: ru4serious 09/27/2009 8:08 AM.

They'll probably do that anyways, but I'm sure some HOT shot lawyer will try to charge him in full.

It's interesting, she tells what happened that day, her feelings toward him, etc. http://transcripts.cnn.co...IPTS/0302/24/lkl.00.html Edited By: ru4serious 09/27/2009 10:10 AM. Edited 1 times.

How can the state prosecute a rapist without the cooperation of the victim? If the victim isn't there to tell her (or his in a few cases) side of the story, then there's no case.

But didn't the girl tell him that she was 19? Supposedly her mother was behind it because she wanted money from him, and when he refused to pay up she went to the police, or am I confusing this case with somebody elses?

I mean that I thought the case would be persecuted whether the victim wanted it or not, that the victim doesn't need to press charges. the law doesnt care if its consentual or not or of the victims feelings towards the person. or about such human ideals as forgiveness and mercy. no matter what its a crime and the law will go after the person to no end Edited By: dannie9 09/27/2009 9:37 AM.
