I 99% agree but from memory this case wasn't handled very well.
The girls mother said she was 16 or 17 and dropped her off for a modeling gig.
The Judge originally sentenced Polanski to a light sentence for having sex with a minor (not actual rape in the truest form) but then reneged the plea bargain because of public and political pressure ( an election was coming )
The 1% of me says forget it. He had the toughest of life's, survived a concentration camp that his family died in, his wife and baby were brutally murdered, he has been a model citizen for the last 30 years including lots of charity work, plus the woman has long forgave him ($2 million might have something to do with it)
I think just leave the old man alone, would it do any good to have this man die in jail?
