#3 A waste of time and money. Did they have to wait for the stabber of his wife to die of brain cancer before they arrested him?

#4 I foresee a myriad of candle-light vigils and fundraisers coming out of Hollyweird in support of this POS. Sad.

#5 Yeah. He gave a 13-year-old girl quaaludes and alcohol (who the F gives alcohol to a 13-year-old, much less quaaludes) and then anally raped her. And yet he's the toast of Tinseltown. Why? Well because he's an artiste, and they are above our petty morality.

#6 Too bad, Roman. I still think Chinatown is one of the best movies I've ever seen. But doing it with a 13-year-old is not OK.

#7 Plus he tied her up before he raped her. I hope the victim gets to confront him during the trial.

P.S. A friend of mine was eating at Tommy's in Hollywood ~3 AM when in walks Roman Polanski with a 14 year old girl. They order and sit down and proceed to make out right at the table.

This was before the rape incident, so my friend was not surprised at all when it happened. I guess consensual sex got too boring for old Roman.

#8 the now-44 yr old victim wants no part of this, but that's not germaine. He already pled guilty, then left the country before sentencing. It's a done deal

#9 You think they are kinder to "short eyes" in da big house if the offender is an artiste with an Oscar?

Yeah, I didn't think so, either...hope the fondue was worth it, Roman...
