Kate Winslet and director Roman Polanski at film launch last night

I don’t understand why film director/writer Roman Polanski (77) is still being honoured. Is this man not a paedophile?

And I have nothing to say to the Ms Winslet, apart from working and hanging out with a man who drugged and then raped a 13 year old girl Kate… Really???

For those of you who are not so familiar with Roman Polanski he directed/wrote the film classic Rosemary’s Baby, and this…..

On 11 March 1977, Polanski, then 43 years old, was arrested for the sexual assault of 13-year-old Samantha Geimer during a photo shoot for French Vogue magazine. Soon after he was indicted on six counts of criminal behavior, including rape. At his arraignment Polanski pled not guilty to all charges.

Geimer’s attorney next arranged a plea bargain, which Polanski accepted, where five of the six charges would be dismissed. As a result, Polanski pled guilty to the charge of “Unlawful Sexual Intercourse with a minor,” and was ordered to undergo 90-days of psychiatric evaluation at Chino State Prison.

On release from prison after 42 days, Polanski expected that at final sentencing he would be put on probation. However, the judge had apparently changed his mind in the interim and now “suggested” to Polanski’s attorney, Douglas Dalton, that more jail time and possible deportation were in order. Polanski was also told by his attorney that despite the fact that the prosecuting attorneys recommended probation, “the judge could no longer be trusted . . .” and the judge’s representations were “worthless.”

Upon learning of the judge’s plans Polanski fled to France on February 1, 1978, just hours before sentencing by the judge. As a French citizen, he has been protected from extradition and has lived mostly in France since then.

On 26 September 2009, Polanski was arrested while in Switzerland at the request of U.S. authorities. He was kept under house arrest at his home in Gstaad while awaiting decision of appeals fighting extradition to the U.S.

On July 12, 2010, however, the Swiss rejected the U.S. request and instead declared him a “free man” and released him from custody, although all six of the original charges still remain pending in the U.S.

The victim, Samantha Geimer, during a TV interview on March 10, 2011, blames the media, reporters, the court, and the judge for causing “way more damage to [her] and her family than anything Roman Polanski has ever done.” She adds that the media were “really cruel,” stating that the judge was clearly using her and a noted celebrity for his own personal gain from the media exposure.
