Polanski was accused of plying a 13-year-old girl with champagne and part of a Quaalude pill during a modeling shoot in 1977 and raping her.

Not accused, he pleaded guilty. Therefore he is guilty and should serve his time. No one is above the law. Especially so one who rapes children and admits to it then flees.

Hats off to the US authorities. Also just to back up neverknow, Polanski pleaded guilty to the charges at the original trial before doing a runner. As such, there is no "accused" about it. Irrespective of the time elapsed or his age, he should be treated just the same as any other kiddie-fiddler.

This maggot Polanski and the quote above which shows a misunderstanding of his case make me so angry I made an account just to reply.

Polansky got a plea bargain where he just pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor. If that were all there was to it, I would let it go.

Unfortunately, it does seem he is guilty of drugging then anally raping a 13 year old against her verbal protests. No doubt she would have physically protested as well if not having been given a combo of alcohol and quaaludes and scared out of her wits and trapped in a room with him. After all these years, the victim has never changed her story, despite pleading for people to forget the case, she never changed a word. I can find no reason to doubt her version of events. Polanski on the other hand...

The case should be reopened, and Polanski's plea bargain forgotten. He should be tried for all the evil twisted things he did to that poor girl. Unfortunately I doubt he will live long enough to serve the sentence he deserves for his crimes. And also, I doubt they will reopen the case. He will probably get a smack on the wrist and just sentenced for the under-age sex. I can only pray that farce does not happen.
