Europerv amoralists and Hollywood celebutards ask, "Why waste time and resources to extradite Roman Polanksi?"
He pled guilty and was convicted of unlawful sex with a 13 year old. A 13 year old! Because he has been convicted, the statue of limitations does not apply. He fled the country to escape sentencing.
It could have been much worse for him. This sick bastard plied a child with liquor and drugs, and then violated her in numerous ways I won't go into here. ABC News has all the gory details.
A Tragic Past is no Excuse
It doesn't matter that he escaped the holocaust an orphan. It doesn't matter that his eight-month pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family. All more tragedy than any one person should have to bear, but it doesn't excuse criminal behavior.
Justice will be Served
Also, it doesn't matter that his victim has settled with him out of court and has forgiven him, saying she wishes prosecutors would drop the matter. This was not just an offense against her, it was an offense against the US and our system of laws. He has settled the first debt, but must still pay the second.
Even Uber-liberal Eugene Robinson says shame on Hollywood and the celebutards who are defending this creep. No surprise, Woody Allen, who divorced his umpteenth wife to marry her daughter, has come to Polanski's defense...
ABC News - Polanski
RCP - Eugene Robinson
