I don't care how talented or vital to film-making Roman Polanski is or was, he is a pedophile who raped a 13 year old child and who has shamefully evaded punishment for his crime for 31 years. His arrest in Switzerland is justified and if he is again able to squirm his way out of facing the consequences of his admitted criminal actions, we should all be embarassed.
It doesn't matter that the then victim, Samantha Gailey now believes Polanski should be left alone.
It is ludicrous that 110 film personalities have signed a petition demanding his release.
He skipped out on his sentencing hearing and has never served a day in jail or of probation (other than the 42 days he was in prison for a psychiatric examination).
He should be required to stand before a judge, have his day in court and finally serve time for a crime he pled guilty to 31 years ago.
