Awwww, poor France, they're mad at the big bad US (what else is new) because we arrested a guy who only lives there because he fled the US in the 70s because he knew he was about to be sent up there river where he belongs for raping a 13 year old... lord, what were we thinking? Arresting a criminal who fled? Man, what next?

Hey France, memo for you... he's not one of you, I don't care how long he's been there, so quit whining and quit being proud of him. He only picked you because you so we couldn't extradite his pervert rapist criminal ass back to face the music.

His position in society has zero to do with the crime. The time passed does not change the fact that he did the crime, admitted that he did the crime, and then skipped town. He's been living pretty damn comfortably in France.
If he were a blue collar laborer, he'd be in jail. If he were a school principal, he'd be in jail. So what the fuck is the difference if he's a movie director. Big fuckin' whoop. He ass-raped a little girl after drugging her up with qualudes & booze. Buh-bye.

who else should we bend the law for?
What ive read, his attorneys made a plea agreement,then the judge leaked out that he would give him the max. Thats why he fled .Im not condoning what he did. The judge fucked up.Should have kept his trap shut.He might get off because of that.I hope he gets his time in jail,and the judgeLula wrote:this whole thing is so disgusting. from the bits n pieces i gather there was some deal struck, he served 17 days or something and the judge either disagreed or something and he fled. the second he can be extradited back to face the music he should be. i guess his attorneys were taunting the da's office for not being serious about getting him.

What the hell was her mother doing allowing a photography session unsupervised? Or jsut taking her there in the first place? I'd really like to know what the hell was going on, because sadly I have known women who if they couldn't get into that celebrity set up on their own tod, wouldn't think twice about pushing a pretty, underage daughter in to ride on her coat tails.

Not disagreeing with anything you've said, but I think this highlights why sex crimes involving teenagers gets really hard, really fast. She wasn't a little girl, she was thirteen. Thirteen year olds vary wildly when it comes to maturity, physically, mentally and emotionally. When I was twelve I routinely got hit on by guys who assumed I was eighteen (and who freaked out when I said I was twelve.) Physically mature, sure. Mentally mature - absolutely; I was smarter than pretty much everyone I knew, including most adults, and while I had a lot of friends my own age, I had been more than capable of holding my own in adult company for several years. Emotionally mature? Not in the slightest and was totally freaked by every single sexual comment and advance made to me; that stopped only because I had to learn to deal with it.
At thirteen I had 2 classmates, one of them a good friend, who were sexually active and in a normal, healthy, adult way (i.e. consensual, and not as a misplaced need for affection.) I looked older than both of them, mentally I was years ahead, but emotionally they were a lot more grown up than I was. At 18, I still had friends who were emotionally children. At 19, one of my male friends finally had that last growth spurt and went from being 5'3" to being 6'1" and stopped looking like a 10 year old (he didn't finish growing and bulking out until he was 24.)
My great-grandfather at 13 was a sailor and the main source of income for his family. My grandmother left school at 14 to go work full time. Both of them, in their time, were considered to be adults with adult responsibilities. Most people today say 18 is an adult, but for some crimes the US tries children as young as 10 as though they were adults. Some 12 year olds are more mature in every way than some 50 year olds.
So it gets really, really tricky when kids are at that 'in-between' stage. I'm not saying what he did was ok - the moment drugs and booze got involved, he lost any case in my eyes; consensual sex does not include using anything that will lower your 'partner's' inhibitions or affect their decision making. But I am saying, we have to accept that this was not a child - she was physically mature enough to be modelling for a (supposed) fashion magazine, and she was in a very grown up situation before the incident occured. She was underage, and she did not consent - both good reasons to throw the book at him. But this isn't the same as someone raping a 9 year old. Not saying it's ok, just saying it's different.

Ari, I'm not saying that this girl behaved or didn't behave like a 'little girl'. But Polanski DID know that she was a child. Why? Cause the mother was told "don't come to the photo shoot'.
He wanted her, knew it, didn't care, and told the mother not to come to the shoot, so he could do what he wanted. If mom had been present (and she should have been, idiot mother) it would not have happened at all. The girl may have acted and even looked older, but the fact remains she was a child (albeit a teenager) but still a child, with a mother involved.

Absolutely agree with you on all counts, just pointing out that it isn't the same as if, say, she were 9. She was still a child, but she wasn't a little girl. It's emotive, but I do think there is a difference in psyche between someone who seeks out adolescent girls and one who seeks out pre-adolescent ones. Still abhorent, but not exactly the same thing, and the former is a lot more complicated. I do not believe there can be such a thing as consensual sex with a pre-adolescent child; I do think that some adolescent children are capable of making that choice, but the younger they are, the fewer there are. And this case was not consensual in any sense of the word, so it's kind of moot.

Nobody at ANY age has ANY right whatsoever to have sex with ANY female under the age of 18 & no female under the age of 18 or at ANY age & still living at home with her parents has ANY right to have sex with ANYone ever. Yes, I said FEMALE & yes I said ANY age..... 30, 40, 50,....it's all the same to me. If she wants to do "grown up" things, than she needs to live on her own. I ain't having MY daughter coming home smelling like cigarettes & Armani cologne & smiling like that damn Cheshire cat. No effin' way!!!
My daughter had better be at least 18 years old AND living on her own before she has sex with ANY horny S.O.B. or she'll feel the wrath of dad thrust upon her.
.... & she ain't gonna wear no damn hussy make-up either!!!!----Not as long as there's breath in my body!!!!
