IF THEY HAD DONE SO, you would find that in any civilised country, the judge, Rittenband, acted improperly, broke promises and ultimately jeapordised the case (making it probable that if Polanski had been CORRECTLY convicted, he could have claimed mistrial or asked for a retrial). And it is irrelevant whether he was a celebrity or not; everybody SHOULD be considered equal in a court.

How long did you have to search to find a &quot;pro-polanski&quot; article? The young girl had sex with her boyfriend so it&#039;s okay that an older man drugged and raped her? And she&#039;d experiemented with drugs before, so that makes it okay as well? He&#039;s a grown man, he should&#039;ve known better, that is absolutely disgusting and inexcusable. Would we feel more sorry for the girl if she wasn&#039;t developed and was a virgin? That hardly seems right.You said, &quot;I do wonder what percentage of the more hysterical posters are themselves victims of childhood sexual abuse and therefore can’t view the matter objectively.&quot; First off, you aren&#039;t viewing the matter objectively whatsoever, and furthermore, does that mean the since you&#039;re on the other side of the spectrum, that you are a rapist?

Polanski admitted to drugging and raping a 13 year old girl. Why the hell would anyone give him the benefit of the doubt? Are you kidding me?That&#039;s the most absurd thing I&#039;ve ever heard.And Andy.. apparently the rape was consensual... right. So why the hell would he have to drug her?  And the 13 year olds looking like 17 year olds comment... haha, are you serious? Gross. This is beyond ridiculous. He admitted to raping someone, then fled the country. How does anyone know he&#039;s not still raping other young women? The man should serve his time. I think he&#039;s absolutely disgusting... talk about preferential treatment for celebrities.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Frank&#8230; Polanski admitted to drugging and raping a 13 year old girl.

He has flaunted the law and evaded any consequences of significance. I personally do not believe that the US government is incapable of exerting influence to France (or now Switzerland) to bring him back for justice regardless of extradition treaties. Money and Hollywood have become above the law. Unfortunately Roman Polanski is only a pebble in the ocean of what goes on today. The US has lost it&#039;s backbone and ethics. It&#039;s use it or lose it and we have been losing it for a while. Of course money sex and drugs are rampant in the masses of people running our country today so sadly it is little surprise. And sexual exploitation of a minor is just what it says-sorry but rape is not always rape does not apply to child abuse.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Roman Polanski is a sexual predator and child molester by our legal system.
