Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland today on a 30 year old charge for having sex with a 13 year-old...The US government is working on the papers to get him extradited to America, so he can serve jail-time for this 30 year-old crime. The French government is working to try to get Polanski back to France to protect him from this sentence, saying that he has had a hard life and that he should be allowed to live in peace.
No one can question that Roman Polanski has had a hard life...he survived Krakow and he had his wife murdered at the hands of Charlie Manson's followers...but to protect a convicted felon, to say that he has suffered enough when he ran from the country after the judge decided that 42 days wasn't a tough enough sentence for someone who gave alcohol and Quaalude to a 13 year-old in order to have sex with her, is downright wrong...
There are people who are put in jail for reasons that are cruel and irrational every day, but Roman Polanski was not one of them...he should be put behind bars for this heinous act...and he should face additional jail time for fleeing the country to avoid having to serve the sentence...
