Roman Polanski Said to be Arrested

Polanski fled the United States in 1978 to live in France, after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl, and at the Zurich Film Festival today he was arrested by Swiss police

I'm really torn on this, I love Chinatown and just can't find it in myself to condemn the man. Do any of you think Polanski (now 76) still deserves to be arrested?

I don't think Chinatown is a valid defence for unlawful relations with a minor.

I don't think anyone above 70 years old should be imprisoned, unless they're imprisoned before that.

HOWEVER, he should still be punished for his deeds.

So I failed 9th grade math 4 times...how old was he when he was doing the 13 year old?

If he was like 30 something, yeah...he should still go to jail.

[Interesting]

I hope he have an horrible death.

[olaph]

i believe he should.

he broke the law, he should pay the penalty.

while its bad timing on the laws behalf

you can't say age is a valid reason for a sex offender to walk or get a lesser sentence.

lets play Roman Polanski's house!!!

Also - yeah, maybe not prison...but house arrest or something. With one of those collar things for his ankle so he can't leave his property.
