Roman Polanski

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

U.S. asks Poland to extradite him.

In light of everything going on with Cosby, I hope someone in the spotlight has the courage to speak up about Polanski.

This guy is a fucking child molestor who has been on the run from the law for decades. Meanwhile, foreign governments are protecting him from prosecution and he got a fucking standing ovation at a Hollywood awards show.

Why? Because he can direct a good film? That's really the bar we're setting for people to get away with the most heinous of crimes?

Yeah, I've never been able to figure out why so many big stars are willing to publicly support a child rapist. Also, see: Woody Allen

It's mainly due to a couple items:

1) The girl filed to have the charges dropped some years back.
2) The judge from the original case was found to have fucked up.

The girl probably doesn't want to keep being reminded of having been drugged and raped.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Really not her call since she was a minor. She may forgive him now, but how about the next minor he rapes?

I could see him avoiding jail time on a technicality. That same technicality shouldn't win him a standing ovation as a known child molester.

Ordain him, and I'm sure they'll be quick to turn on him.
