Roman Polanski is never going to be rid of legal hassles stemming from that ages-old rape case. On Sunday, Swiss authorities announced that they arrested Polanski as he tried to enter the country. It is now being determined whether the filmmaker should be extradited to the U.S. to face the charges he fled years ago.
Anyone who saw the movie Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired knows the judge in the original case acted like an asshole, and knows that the victim was probably not as innocent as the prosecution tried to make her seem. It also needs to be pointed out that the victim herself, Samantha Geimer, has filed court papers asking that the case be thrown out so she can finally get on with her life.
The only ones who seem to care about "bringing Polanski to justice" are those who believe he made a monkey of the American judicial system by fleeing. In other words, it's the same people who wanted to nail Polanski to the wall all along because he was a "dirty foreigner" who defiled a nice pure virginal American girl.
A pure virginal American girl who willingly went with a much older man to a "photoshoot" at an actor's house.
There's a reason people think America is filled with knuckle-dragging rednecks.
