Director Roman Polanski will make British legal history by suing American magazine Vanity Fair via a video link from France. The Oscar-winning filmmaker won the right not to appear in person because he fears extradition to the US - from where he fled in 1977 after being found guilty of statutory rape with a 13-year-old girl. Polanski is suing Vanity Fair after it accused him of propositioning a woman on the way to the funeral of murdered wife Sharon Tate in 1969. The case starts on November 3 at London's High Court. His spokesman says, "Mr. Polanski has permission to give his evidence via a video link. We cannot comment further."
Let's see. He's suing someone for libel, but can't show up in court because the child-raping bastard figures he might get sent back to the States for the hard jail time he deserves.
The Pianist's Roman Polanski was also a surprise winner in the directing category. The controversial director hasn't set foot in the U.S. since 1977 when he fled a statutory rape conviction, and many believed the Academy wouldn't bestow an Oscar upon him in absentia.
Well the Academy proved to me that night that it had no morals to stand on. Hollywood does love its non-extradited child rapists.
I also love how it's always emphasized that it was "statutory" rape. As if she was some young temptress that seduced him and he was some noble victim that got birthdates wrong. Read the Smoking Gun archives on this perv. He isolated his victim, plied her with drugs and alcohol and then victimized her. And this is only the incident that was made public. Roman's got good PR people and lots of lawyers...
Pervs like him don't do this only once. You gotta wonder how many young French girls fall victim to his "charms." But the French are so much more mature in the ways of love, mais oui?
Oh, and he's the victim because he's not allowed on U.S. soil to accept his stupid award. And now the British courts are granting him a "special exception." If I were Vanity Fair I'd fight this tooth and nail and make him show up in court.
And why is it that I believe completely Vanity Fair's assertion that he was propositioning another woman on the way to his murdered wife's funeral?
Bastard.

Haven't written but had to reply to this.
Poor Polanski,(hence PP), know seemed to believe his defense statement.
Jugde: "Well, how do you plead PP."
PP: "Your honor, thirteen-eighteen, they sound so much alike."
Can you blame PP.
