Roman Polanski Arrested

Three decades after he fled the United States following his arrest for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl, Roman Polanski was taken into custody in Zurich this morning and faces extradition to Los Angeles. Polanski, the famed film director whose career continued to flourish even after fleeing for Europe, was arrested as he arrived in the Swiss city to accept an award at the Zurich Film Festival. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office learned last week that Polanski had plans to travel to Zurich this weekend, said Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office. Prosecutors sent a provisional arrest warrant to the U.S. Justice Department, which presented it to Swiss authorities. On at least two previous occasions, the district attorney’s office has received reports that Polanski had travel arrangements to countries with extradition treaties with the U.S. and prepared paperwork for his arrest, Gibbons said. “But in the end, he apparently found out about it and didn’t go,” she said. A source familiar with the investigation told The Times that the U.S. Marshals Service had come close to arresting Polanski half a dozen times or so over the past few decades -- though several of those opportunities presented themselves in the last two years. "For one reason or another, it just didn't work out," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing. "There are so many variables." The source said Polanski always was very careful about when and where he traveled. But as new questions arose in recent years about the fairness of his case, the source said Polanski appeared to become more at ease about travel. Thomas Hession, head of the Marshals Service's Los Angeles office, would not comment on specifics of the case but said authorities moved quickly on each lead. "Any time information was developed, the L.A. County district attorney's office and the Marshals Service immediately acted on it." Asked if prosecutors would ask that Polanski be sentenced to time behind bars if he were returned to the U.S., Gibbons said, “We’ve always maintained this is a matter between Polanski and the court. … We initially recommended prison time for him, but I can’t see into the future.” An attorney for Polanski, Chad Hummel, declined to comment. “Right now, we’re not in a position to say anything,” he said. Polanski, now 76 and a married father of two, asked the court to throw out the entire case based on new allegations of prosecutorial and judicial misconduct detailed in an HBO documentary last year. The L.A. district attorney’s office argued that he could not make such a request while a fugitive, and an L.A. judge earlier this year agreed. A 1997 attempt at settling the case also failed. Polanski was arrested 31 years ago at a Beverly Hills hotel after a 13-year-old girl accused him of sexually assaulting her during a photo shoot at actor Jack Nicholson's house. A 1978 arrest warrant, issued after he failed to appear at his sentencing on the statutory-rape conviction, is still in effect, and he would be taken into custody upon arrival on U.S. soil. The director of "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby" has not returned to the U.S. since then but continues to work as a director, winning an Oscar for "The Pianist." Polanski’s stay in Switzerland could be brief if he opts to return to Los Angeles. “If he agrees with an extradition, he could be sent to the U.S. in the next days,” said Guido Ballmer, a spokesman for the Swiss Federal Department of Justice and Police. But if Polanski declines to come back without a fight -- perhaps a more likely scenario given his three decades as a fugitive -- the court process could be quite lengthy, Ballmer told The Times.

He won’t get too much time if he is brought back to the US. Judging by his AGE and naturally what he has done since this incident. If there is a pattern of behavior as such as what he is charged with in the US (habitual offender). Then that would be the only way I see him doing any substantial amount of time behind bars. They are only doing this to him since the high profile nature of the case and of what he was when the crime was committed. If anything he will be used as the new "example" of what NOT to do in Hollywood.

Too bad that he was out of town and Sharon Tate was home. I'm sure the fact he was on the lam for 30 years will affect his sentence. Hopefully he dies in jail after repeated rapes.

It seems odd that Switzerland would back the US and go against France on this. I wouldn't expect the Swiss to be so compliant to the US right now unless they negotiated for something, or just screwed up internally.

I heard this morning that he is a regular visitor to Switzerland and owns a home there.
Perhaps the Swiss are still working some angle with the USA regarding the banking secrecy stuff.

If my memory serves me correctly, Loopnode, you were opposed to my opinion against Roman in a previous post.
Did you have the chance to see the documentary "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" and did that change your mind about him?

Actually I'm not sure why I disagreed with you at that time. Maybe I was drunk. Actually I talked to an editor called Sharon who gave me the whole story. What confuses me most is that I last talked to Sharon in 2006 so, not sure.

Well, to kill several birds with one stone...
I recommend the movie if you haven't seen it. Up until very recently it was on heavy rotation on HBO, and is still played--although much less frequently; and it is available on iTunes for $3.99.
It has been a while, and my memory is a bit foggy, but I think the victim, in her own words and on camera, insinuates that her mother knew what she was doing when she brought her to Roman in an effort to get her daughter into the movies. She doesn't state it outright, but the implication is there. This is what the "victim" claimed. Maybe my memory is off. I might need to re-rent that movie. Even though it was a pro-Polanski film, it made me like him less.

Natasha was 45 while Nastassja is 48. So he was with Natasha when she was 15 after he fled the United States. I heard it earlier today.

It's amazing to me that I replied to Loco Taco's last idiotic post around 9:30 pm PDST. Idiot-stick then edited her post at 9:43 pm (apparently), and this morning when I check in, my post has been deleted.
Darrah's original post, which I quoted, discussed how she had heard "earlier in the day" that Polanski had had an affair with Kinski, but that she got confused when she got around to making her contribution here.
Dear Darrah,
What makes you an IDIOT is that you learned something you considered important (or at least timely), immediately forgot it, then made up a bunch of shit that seemed to fit to fill in the gaps.
That's why you're an idiot.
More importantly, would any of you care to comment on why my earlier post was deleted?

Anyone read the victims deposition? Apparently he performed "cuddliness" on her, then fucked her vaginally and anally. Some of you might beat off while reading it. The guy is a fucking creep.

Darrah's recollection: Quote:
Jack's girlfriend at the time was Anjelica Huston and I remember hearing that she saw the girl running out crying while Anjelica started screaming to Roman what have you done.
News story:
Quote:
Huston later described the teen as "sullen" in a probation report prepared at the time of Polanski's plea deal.
"She appeared to be one of those kind of little chicks between -- could be any age up to 25. She did not look like a 13-year-old scared little thing," Huston said.
Fact: Darrah is an idiot.

I love the fact that the stupid film community is in agreement that if you drug & rape a 13 year old, and then run off to where there's no US extradition treaty and spend the rest of your life giving the finger to US justice..if you do it long enough, it's OK to treat his offense as if it never happened. Right. Bring him back to the USA and hang the fucker by his balls!!

Let's try and focus on what this dispute is really about:
1. He spent 6 weeks in jail
2. He plead guilty to one charge, the others were dropped in exchange for his plea, so he is not guilty of those, regardless of what anyone says;
3. It was a condition of his plea that he receive credit for the time already spent in jail and that he would not spend anymore time in jail;
4. Another prosecutor, who was not involved in the case, coached the judge, without other counsel knowing, and convinced him to throw out the plea deal;
5. That was when Polanski fled - after the system was corrupted; and,
6. The same renegade prosecutor is the one that just leaked the Grand Jury testimony to ABC (and is the only one interviewed in the article).
Noone is defending sex with under-age girls (at least nobody who is sane), but you can't say that the whole process surrounding the punishment phase of Polanski's trial wasn't tainted.
As to you folks that argue that the jail time is too little. Maybe you're right, but the fact is, his crime does not merit the death penalty (despite what many would understandably wish), so he would have received a finite amount of jail time.
The prosecution and the defence agreed on the appropriate length of punishment. Whether you think that was right or not, they had a plea deal that was (apparently) within the sentencing guidelines

4. Another prosecutor, who was not involved in the case, coached the judge, without other counsel knowing, and convinced him to throw out the plea deal;
That's a serious violation of American law by both the judge and that prosecutor unless a formal - and _extremely_ unusual - process is used to appoint an judge's "adviser" of one sort or another. It's nearly automatic grounds for removing the judge from the case and both can be hauled before the Bar to defend their license to practice law.
Quote:
6. The same renegade prosecutor is the one that just leaked the Grand Jury testimony to ABC (and is the only one interviewed in the article).
Leaking grand jury testimony is usually a felony. A final ruling hadn't been issued: the trial phase wasn't even over.
Quote:

American law allows a judge to reject a plea agreement and it happens from time to time (Bank of America vs. SEC is another example right now). It would have been completely reasonable for the judge to have rejected the agreement on the basis that it was too lenient - that the prosecutor was giving special treatment to a favored person - but not as a result of private fact and law gathering outside of the court.
Quote:

Agreed - the only interesting question to me is the political question of what the Swiss will do. Normally they'd probably see "child rapist" and just hand him over. But given actions by the US over the last year against the Swiss banking sector they probably prefer to just thumb their noses at Washington, and I think that the prosecutor's proposed settlement gives them a way to do that and let him go back to France.
Keep in mind that France and Poland are not neutral on this at all - both strongly want him freed by the Swiss: the Swiss would not be going it alone by freeing him. The Swiss can gain a lot of goodwill with a neighbor by freeing him, and for the Swiss brownie points with France are more important than with the US.

It looked like Sherri Shepherd wanted to rip Whoopi's face off. Sherri said she has a 13-year-old niece and would go after any man who had done this to her niece. Whoopi said she has a granddaughter the same age and didn't really know what she would do or think. The video I saw, it seemed Whoopi wouldn't have a problem with it if the same thing had happened to her granddaughter.

After he fled the country before sentencing, it stopped being about the rape victim. It was now a different case about him running from justice.

The rape case might still be tried - it was never finalized. But the victim is now a hostile witness and it's not clear what evidence they still have.
The victim's original statements aren't admissible unless there is a living witness left to testify under cross-examination as to what she said at the time. The prosecution could force the victim herself onto the stand but that's risky since she might shoot down their case.
The prosecutor who claimed he talked to the judge now says he lied about that. How much he lied, how often, and about what, is unclear. The judge is dead but at the time acknowledged "substantial misconduct" in the case at the time ... and the misconduct was never resolved because Polanski had fled.
BBC reported overnight that France is backing off insisting he be returned to France and that the Polish President has broken with their cabinet and opposes release. If France backs off I doubt the Swiss will let him go free. There is a US-Swiss extradition treaty and I doubt the Swiss will ignore it without France giving them cover.
The victim might not say anything against him anymore because maybe part of the settlement agreement was that she can't criticize him anymore. Her family was paid by Polanski. It was 30 years ago and the agreement might not apply anymore though.
She also says she forgives him. But how can she forgive him when he never once apologized and took responsibility for anything?
I don't understand why they would need a living witness when her testimony is on court records. It's not hearsay.
This has nothing to do with France or Poland. He was arrested in Switzerland for a crime committed in the United States. He's not a French or Polish diplomat or government official. So this has nothing to do with those countries and they should mind their own fucking business. They would be singing a different tune if we weren't extraditing someone who committed a crime in their country.

The judge had the right to reject the deal. A favorable plea bargain was agreed to prevent the victim from suffering more trauma at trial.
The prosecutor who in the movie claimed he influenced the proceedings through an ex-parte conversation has now recanted the claim. The truth of what actually happened can be sorted out through the California Justice system once Roman is in country, and in a holding cell.
Woman testified that Roman plied her with drugs and alcohol before raping her anally. (She said no before he had sex with her, in her incapacitated state)
Roman later admitted to the police he had sexual intercourse with her, given this statement against interest, the rest of the victim's account is quite believable.
Even if you insist the victim lied, Roman jumped bail and fled the country. Marcia Clark said this act subjects him to a second charge of up to three years in prison.
By fleeing Roman tolled the statute of limitations on his crimes. Perhaps his defense attorney's motions should be granted and he should get a new trial on all the original charges and wait for his new trial behind bars because he is a flight risk. However, in a new trial every admission he's made over the years will come into evidence. The witness can be subpeona'd and if she tried to protect Roman her present testimony can be impeached through the use of her previous testimony before the grand jury.
In conclusion, Roman can go fuck himself.
Well said!

Mitterrand—nephew of late President Francois Mitterrand—is to appear on national television Thursday night amid a threatened police complaint and calls from both left and right for his resignation.

With endorsements from Mitterrand and Woody Allen I don't see how anyone can doubt his innocence any longer.

abcnews.go.com/ Polanski Feels Depressed in Jail: Lawyer October 12, 2009 ZURICH (Reuters) - Director Roman Polanski is feeling depressed two weeks after his arrest in Switzerland to face U.S. extradition for a 1977 case involving the rape of a 13-year-old girl, his lawyer was quoted as saying on Sunday. "I found him to be tired and depressed," Herve Temime told the Sonntag newspaper, one of two newspapers he talked to after visiting the Oscar-winning director in a Zurich prison. "Roman Polanski, who is 76, seemed very dejected when I visited him," Temime told another newspaper, NZZ am Sonntag. "Polanski was in an unsettled state of mind." Polanski pleaded guilty in Los Angeles to having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977 and spent 42 days in prison undergoing psychiatric tests. However, he fled before the case was concluded because he believed a judge would sentence him to up to 50 years behind bars despite a plea agreement for time already served. Swiss authorities rejected an appeal on Tuesday to release Polanski and also urged a Swiss court dealing with his extradition warrant to reject another appeal by Polanski's lawyers to have him freed, and to refuse bail. Swiss officials have said they believe there is a very high risk of Polanski fleeing if he is released on bail. Temime told the Sonntag newspaper the Swiss Federal Penal Court should decide "very soon" on his bid for release on bail. "He would fulfill all the conditions and stay in Switzerland until the extradition proceeding are decided," he said. The director, who holds dual French and Polish citizenship, was arrested at the request of the United States when he flew into Switzerland on September 26 to receive a life-time achievement prize at a film festival.

The guy has been through so much in his life. It’s crazy to arrest him now. Let it go. The government could spend its money on other things.”
She's in charge of a feminist union?! I think USA HAS to pursue this. Its important for people to see that you these types of crimes aren't OK. So what if he's been through a lot in his life?! So have a lot of other people. So what if it was a long time ago?

She wants to let it go, although she filed a civil suit in 1988. While I think here input has merit, I still think he needs to come back and face the music.

www.dailynews.com/news/ci_13644611?source=rss Victim wants case against Roman Polanski dismissed The victim of the sex crime Roman Polanski committed more than three decades ago wants a state appeals court to dismiss the case against him, citing international media pressure that she says has harmed her health and job performance. According to papers filed Friday with the Second District Court of Appeal, Samantha Geimer, now 45, has been inundated with hundreds of media requests for interviews since the Oscar-winning filmmaker's arrest on Sept. 26 in Zurich. The publicity "has caused her to have health-related issues," according to the court filing prepared by attorney Lawrence Silver. "The pursuit has caused her performance at her job to be interfered with and has caused the understandable displeasure of her employer and the real possibility that Samantha could lose her job," Silver wrote. The filing on behalf of Geimer, a mother of three who lives in Hawaii and works as a bookkeeper, seeks dismissal of the case against Polanski. United States authorities are seeking to have Polanski extradited back to Los Angeles to face sentencing in the case. The director was first charged with six felony counts alleging he drugged and raped the then-13-year-old in 1977. He later pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor after the lawyer for the girl's family asked prosecutors to avoid a jury trial. Polanski fled the country in 1978 before sentencing. Last week, the 76-year-old director was denied bail by a Swiss court that ruled the filmmaker has a strong motivation to flee the country to avoid extradition to the U.S. The ruling marked the second time the Oscar-winning Polanski was denied bail since his arrest in Zurich. Polanski, whose films include "Chinatown" and "The Pianist," faces jail if he does eventually face a Los Angeles judge. The same Swiss court that denied the director bail will rule on an extradition request from the U.S. Justice Department at a date to be determined. Both the bail and extradition decisions may be appealed to the Swiss Supreme Court. The Swiss Justice Ministry declined a separate bail request earlier this month.

Swiss court grants Polanski bail in US child sex caseQuote:
A Swiss court has accepted film-maker Roman Polanski's plea to be freed on $4.5m bail from a Swiss jail where he is being held for a US child sex case.
The court said Polanski could stay at his chalet in the Swiss Alps. He would be monitored by an electronic tag.
Polanski, 76, has been wanted in the US since fleeing the country in 1978 after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex a year earlier with a 13-year-old girl.
He was held in Zurich after travelling from France in September.
'Unusual' ruling
On Wednesday, the Swiss Federal Criminal Court accepted Polanski's bail plea and his offer to surrender his passport.
The court said Polanski would be subjected to "constant electronic surveillance" at his chalet and an electronic tag would be activated if he attempted to leave the premises.
It also said that Polanski - who holds dual French and Polish citizenship - would stay in the prison pending a possible appeal against the ruling.
The Swiss justice ministry has 10 days to appeal against the court's decision.
But Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said she saw no reason to appeal against the decision.
It is highly unusual for extradition subjects to be granted bail in Switzerland, says the BBC's Imogen Foulkes, adding that Polanski's first application was refused.
But this time the court ruled bail conditions should be enough to prevent him fleeing back to France, our correspondent says.
The ruling is not thought to affect the Swiss government's ongoing assessment of whether it should extradite Polanski to the US.
Polanski has not set foot in the US since fleeing the country in 1978, and has settled in France.
Speaking after detention in September, US prosecutors disputed claims that his arrest came out of the blue, saying he had been on an Interpol "wanted list" for years.

Take a deep breath Dara, he is still in jail. For now.

Wasted his money then. It's not a federal charge. If he's trying for a "pardon" he better direct those toward Kennedy in-law Arnie.

Film director Roman Polanski 'moved from Swiss jail' Quote:
Film director Roman Polanski has been moved from a jail near Zurich to an undisclosed location for "security reasons", Swiss officials say.
Polanski, who has been held since September, is to be placed under house arrest at his Alpine chalet on Friday after being granted bail by a court.
He fled the US in 1978 after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex with an underage girl.
Switzerland is deciding whether to extradite him to the US.
A justice ministry spokesman said Polanski left the jail in Winterthur on Thursday for "security reasons and personal protection", AP news agency reported.
The spokesman said Polanski was still expected to be taken to his chalet in the luxury resort of Gstaad on Friday afternoon.
The 76-year-old film-maker will be fitted with an electronic bracelet that will activate if he attempts to abscond.
The Swiss Federal Criminal Court granted the Oscar-winning director $4.5m (£2.7m) bail, pending proceedings for his possible extradition to the US.
The director of films such as Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown and The Pianist was arrested after travelling to Zurich on 26 September to pick up a lifetime achievement award.
Polanski was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl after plying her with champagne and a sedative during a modelling shoot in 1977.
He was initially indicted on six counts - including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy - but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse.
Polanski fled the US on the day he was to be sentenced, and has lived in France since then.

Those Natashas are just asking for it.
And what am I an idiot for? Spelling Kinski's name wrong? EXCUSE ME. It's Nastassja then. But she and Richardson were teenagers then. I forgot which one and mixed up the two Natasha's. Fuck you troll!
Natasha was 45 while Nastassja is 48. So he was with Natasha when she was 15 after he fled the United States. I heard it earlier today.
Nastja Kinski is a mudshark. She has a child with Quincy Jones.
Her father raped Marie in Woyzeck.

EXCLUSIVE: Roman Polanski Shocker: New Woman Comes Forward With Sexual Chargeswww.radaronline.com/ A new woman is coming forward with sexual charges against Roman Polanski, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. In what is sure to cause an uproar, the new alleged victim will hold a news conference Friday with famed attorney Gloria Allred in Los Angeles, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively. The news conference is slated to take place at 10:30 a.m. PST in front of Allred's office, where she will explain why her client is choosing to come forward now, and what the new allegations mean from a legal perspective. Her client will read a statement, but will not be taking questions or giving interviews following the news conference. The shocking twist to Polanski infamous story comes as legal wrangling over his 1977 case has heated up with the filmmaker under house arrest in Switzerland, fighting extradition to the U.S. where he faces up to two years in California state prison. In 1978, Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. He reached a plea bargain deal but when the judge in that case said he would renege on the deal, Polanski fled to France. He has been a fugitive since then. He was arrested in Switzerland on September 26, 2009. It is not yet known if the new woman will charge that she was underage when she was allegedly the victim of a sexual crime by Polanski. Polanski has long been a controversial figure, celebrated for his art and demonized for his actions with an underage girl and subsequent flight from the United States and avoiding punishment. Now, with new sexual charges about to be leveled against him, the controversy surrounding Polanski is certain to erupt and grow. RadarOnline.com will continue to update the story as it develops.
