Director Roman Polanski Arrested in Switzerland
Thirty years after the original arrest warrant was issued, Polanski was apprehended in Switzerland. Though he always maintained the girl wanted it, he did plead guilty before he went on the lam.

He's 76 now and its been a long time. Should they just let the old man live out his final days in peace or throw the book at him? Personally I like the idea of his life of entitlement coming to a swift end as he rots behind bars. |

He should serve his time like any other pedofile. I don't care how famous or how old he is, neither how old is the crime.
Oh. And I'm Polish.  |

What does your ethnicity have to do with the topic? I don't get it. |

what message would that send?
that you can get away with feeding drugs to 13y/o girls and fucking them if you're rich?
that it's worth going on the run because everyone will forget it?
and men in their 80's have been caught abusing kids...maybe he still poses a danger.

They should have done something about it when it happened. I guess it shows he did sort of get away with it. |

They did.
He was arrested, and he pleaded guilty to "unlawful sex with a minor." (He drugged a 13 year old and then anally penetrated her.) After his guilty plea, left the country to avoid sentencing, and he has not set foot in the US ever since. |

How could he leave country after being on trial and waiting for his sentence?

it's not uncommon for people to be released pending sentencing.
though i doubt someone like him would be these days.

Because in the US, it is not unusual for wealthy people to get to walk around freely while awaiting sentencing. |

Let's get a few things straight. He's not a pedo. The girl was 13 and by all accounts looked much older. Not to excuse his crime but keep it in perspective.
He never went to trial if I remember right. He plead guilty and was awaiting sentencing. It's normal for anyone already out on bail to remain free until sentenced. Doesn't matter who they are unless they are a flight risk and at the time there was no reason to think he was.

Anjelica Houston said in her statement that she could have passed for 25 and the girl herself at one time said something similar.
Like I said, I'm not looking to excuse his actions. It was date rape at the very least and he should have been punished but he wasn't a pedo by any stretch.
The girl wants the charges dropped now though. I think they should go with what she wants.

So, if I run across the street, drug the 13 year old neighbor girl, who looks older, and anally penetrate her. I'm not a pedo?

It's not her decision to drop the charges.

No, you're guilty of statutory rape and other crimes.

No, it's not but the only people who want to keep them are the prosecutors. Nobody else gives a shit. That should be considered.

a pedo is into prepubescent children.
someone who has sex with underage teenagers is guilty of statutory rape.

So, if I kill someone, plead guilty, but manage to flee the country, then thirty years later, the family of the person I killed wants to drop the charges, it's okay.

Absolutely not. It's great that she has emotionally moved past what happened, but when a crime is committed it is The State vs. The Defense, not The Victim vs. The Defense.
An example: How many women had been brutually beaten by their husbands, then later state they don't want the husband to go to jail. Maybe they have a change of heart, maybe they buy the "I'm sorry it won't happen again" routine, or maybe they are simply terrified.
Should the charges be dropped on the wife's say so?
ETA: "Date" rape? They weren't out on a date. He was a "photographer" taking pictures of an aspiring model. That's what he told her parents...
