re: most posts above:
i am not emotional. i am for a nuanced humanistic justice system which looks at all aspects of a case and base their rulings upon different factors.
(not the fact that he is a good filmmaker, mind you, that is jsut the fanboy side in me)

aspect 1: he raped a 13yo
aspect 2: he confessed raping a 13yo
aspect 3: he's been fleeing from justice for 30+ years
aspect 4: he's shown no remorse about it- aspect 5: the publicity caused by this will do more harm to the victim and relativesfreitag
- how do you fucking know? should we let every famous criminal go because of the bad publicity for the victims?jimbojones
- well the victim wrote a letter to the ones involved in prosecuting.freitag
- it's all about reading, which i love to do. and you don't, apparently.freitag
- I know that she wants the charges to be dropped. So? See juhls' comment below.jimbojones

The victim herself, in various interviews, said that she wished he would be forgiven so that people would stop bothering her family. However, it wouldn't make sense to "let things go" for that reason.
- The US shouldn't let him go, but Switzerland should. Which is what is going to happen I guess.raf

For realz Janne, a guy rapes a girl, says "shit happens", runs away, you want to let him go because the girl says "I've had enough of the bad publicity"? The only fucking reason you defend him is that he is a brilliant filmmaker, so there is a big difference if he's a director or a plumber.
Nobody, NOBODY would ask to free a plumber after raping a girl, even if his own family got burned alive by nazis and his pregnant wife was slaughtered by a gang and even if the victim would sincerely forgive him.

For the record, I do understand what janne is talking about. I was a bit sympathetic towards Ted Kennedy even though he left a woman to die and didn't tell anyone about it for a long time. I still believe(d) that there should have been repercussions, of course.

Incidentally,
Anyone here actually dun qualudes? They were big in the 60s and 70s until the drug company that used to produce them stop making them. Apparently they are great to do while having sex, and are usually done with wine (like that bowie song "Time" - "qualudes and red wine")
I tried to source generic versions/research chemicals of the drug from India, but it is proving tricky.

He didn't rape her, it's just California law treats sex with a minor as rape.
- EVERY country duz. It's called "statutory rape".Khurram
- And SHE says it was rape.Khurram
- same as having sex with teh mentally retarded and parapalegics.Khurram
- or anyone considered incapable of giving "informed consent".Khurram
- no she said it wasn't rape. read kuz, read.freitag
- she said she was drugged, and it was uncomfortable and she told him to stop. read janne read.Khurram
- She said ages ago she had teased him. She was a model wannabe and certainly not a virgin. And yes, he shouldn't.raf
- really? that's not what i'm reading today. Link?Khurram
- and what do you mean "certainly not a virgin"? How dare you!Khurram
- w00t and the chicks who get raped in NYC are sluts calling it upon themselves, how dare they to look remotely sexy and then say nojimbojones

I would like to tie Polanski to a wooded windmill, preferably in the Netherlands and let little children slap him silly with Rookworst.

iif you guys want to win the argument on the internet, be free. you win.
i couldn't care less at this point of the conversation.
to me it is the huge gap between the US system and the Dutch. Neither of them is perfect.
But I lean towards a fair and balanced judgement. With a punishment that still has a human angle to it, like we have here. not like death penalty, or 100 million dollar claims.
and the comparison to joe the plumber is ridicuolous. if i would know as much about that case as this one i could have a word about it. but then, none of you would run and post it here like you were an editor of the Sun.
Hence my point of view.
I don't hate anyone of you, i jsut hate people who run and make people black and scream justice even if the punishment does more harm than good.
i am arrogant enough here to say i truly find that a lower form of civilization.

there is actually no such thing as rape, it was made up by prostitutes who didn't get paid.

Actually me and a friend of mine who are both into "pick-up/game" etc. have made a plan to go to the Westfield shopping centre every weekend for the next month to try and pull 16 year old girls, because they're not allowed into clubs.
I'll tell you how it goes. First round this saturday, then onto the walkabout.

The victim said she wanted all this to stop... she don't even care if he's been arrested or not.
