>Back in 2009, Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland after a request from the United States authorities to do so. However, a year later, the Swiss government and police rejected the US’ request and released Polanski from detention in Zurich. The reason was partly due to a petition signed by several high-profile members of the Hollywood film industry.
>The petition read: “We demand the immediate release of Roman Polanski. Film-makers in France, in Europe, in the United States and around the world are dismayed by this decision. It seems inadmissible to them that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, is used by police to apprehend him.”
[...]
>Many luminaries of the film industry added their names to the petition following Polanski’s arrest prior to him receiving a lifetime achievement award in Zurich. Amongst them were a swathe of high-profile names, including Woody Allen, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Tilda Swinton, Darren Aronofsky, Monica Bellucci, Asia Argento and Wes Anderson. This list is a paltry portion of the total number of A-list film celebrities with their names on the petition.
>The fact that so many of the film industry’s stars signed the petition is just downright shocking. The reason that Polanski was arrested in Zurich was down to his original arrest in 1977. He had been charged with the despicable act of raping a 13-year-old girl. After pleading guilty to statutory rape, Polanski served just 42 days in prison before he was released on a plea bargain.
>However, after catching wind of the fact that a judge was set to reject the plea bargain, Polanski fled to Paris and subsequently remained out of the United States so he could resist further arrest. He lived out the rest of his life in Europe, though he was disgracefully adorned with several awards and nominations, including the Oscar for Best Director for 2003’s The Pianist.
>The petition went to show how little Hollywood cared for serious crimes of a sexual nature, as it had also done for the likes of Woody Allen. It remains to be seen whether, in today’s society, the petition would have even got off the ground, especially given the resounding support of those speaking out against the barbaric depravity of Harvey Weinstein.
>However, Natalie Portman previously expressed regret at signing the petition. She said, “I very much regret it. I take responsibility for not thinking about it enough. Someone I respected gave it to me and said, ‘I signed this. Will you too?’ And I was like, ‘sure’. It was a mistake.”
>Though she added, “The thing I feel like I gained from it is empathy towards people who have made mistakes. We lived in a different world, and that doesn’t excuse anything. But you can have your eyes opened and completely change the way you want to live. My eyes were not open.”
Roman Polanksi had to flee the US because he was a dicky chad irl. He drugged and fugged a 13-year old in his jacuzzi and then fled to Europe. Several Hollywood directors openly signed a petition to forgive him because he is so talented / he's a holocaust survivor / he's very sorry / it was just a prank bro etc. It was very cringe.

it’s not about what this stupid prostitute thinks you fricking pedo, it’s about justice and punishment for such scum as him especially if they are powerful and act like they’re above the law
lol if she doesn't think it's that bad, you shouldn't either
listen schlomo, I don’t care what she thinks, pedo freaks should fear their own shadow not traveling around Europe collecting movie awards. And all of their defenders need to be publicly shamed and closely monitored for suspicious activity
this is why we don't allow the victims family to dictate the punishment or even if there is a trial. The rich would always be able to buy their way out of responsibility.

i agree which is why i find it weird that roman seems to constantly admit that he did it. i would 100% believe him over her if he just said she was a crazy b***h and wanted money from him or something
The clue isnt if he did it or not, i believe he did it, however girl in question had said many times that she disagreed/didnt really care about the rape charges
Hags who came out in last decade can go frick themselves though

lol if she doesn't think it's that bad, you shouldn't either

so you're into victim shaming now? lmao
im down with leftist pedo shaming
this is why we don't allow the victims family to dictate the punishment or even if there is a trial. The rich would always be able to buy their way out of responsibility.
remember that guy who forgave and hugged the nignog who killed and dismembered his daughter
>it's le bad even though the victim said it wasn't le bad
get help
I literally don't care what they do. Make good movies I will ignore anything else.
it’s not about what this stupid prostitute thinks you fricking pedo, it’s about justice and punishment for such scum as him especially if they are powerful and act like they’re above the law

wtf, i never heard about this
im assuming that those accusations may have had something to do with the following considering the time frame
>On 3 May 2018, Polanski was removed from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, with the decision referencing the case.[186]
it's true, Polanski just raped a girl while flying over my house.
Polanski was in a real raping mood in the 70's for some reason.
These largely the same people disrespected Elia Kazan because communust activists told them to and then they turned around and defended Polanski.
>BREAKING NEWS: Dinosaur skeleton currently on display in the British Museum claims to have been violently raped by Roman Polanski in 70000000 BCE, when it was only an egg.
