“he never did serve any time for what he did” — he did serve some time but at the heart of Polanski’s reasoning for fleeing is the fact the DA wouldn’t commit to a deferred sentence and time served in jail before final sentencing. Roman fled because he felt he was being made an example of. Its all in the doc., which is worth watching. It tries to relate the time period and explain how the public’s view of Polanski was a sex crazed European that makes disturbing movies like Rosemary’s Baby. The only thing I didn’t like about the doc. is it tries to flavor your view of the DA by talking about his country club drinking and marriage problems – it seems the filmmakers want to use this gossip to make Roman not look like the only sinner, whatever.

“double standard for the rich and famous?”

I think there should be a double standard for the talented. Plenty of males commit statutory rape. Let him in if he wants in.

It’s a great lesson for the kids … just run away and eventually everything will work out. Maybe he can petition for clemancy from Bush or wait a few years and get it from Obama.

13 is 13 who cares what the chick says now. He needs to serve his time or stay away.

I only saw part of that documentary (but who knows what the facts are anyway)…

If the victim actually does want the charges dropped then why not?
