Actually, no, they've been after Polanski ever since he fled the charges against him.
He has already admitted his guilt. He was fleeing having to serve any time. He also broke bail. Guess the statue of limitations doesn't apply to his flight and refusal to serve time.
So are you saying just because it's 30 years later breaking the law doesn't matter anymore?
That if you commit a crime and can manage to outrun justice for 30 years, then it's OK and you can get away with it?
Is that what you're saying?

It's not that black & white. Check out the doc WANTED AND DESIRED, it helped me understand why he originally skedaddled out of the US.
I'm just finding it very suspicious that they have arrested him now. The guy apparently owns a home in Switzerland, so it's not like he hasn't been there in the last 30 years. And yes, considering that his victim sued him for an undisclosed sum of money, later forgave him & tried to get the charges dropped and has moved on with her life and is by all accounts a happy mother of three, I think they should let it go and instead focus on people who are really hurting others.

Hey everybody, I started a thread about Roman Polanski in the Current Events forum:

Before going to see the preview of Brothers, I signed up for this movie watching service called gofobo.com. It buys the tickets, reminds me on the day of the movie, gives me directions, and asks me for a review after the movie. I really like it so far...now I hope there's no, or little, spam.
