Can we please throw this guy to the wolves?

He was Weinstein before Weinstein.

Making good films does not exam or one for being a child-sex enthusiast.

If he fled to Europe it probably was because he was guilty and knew his chances were very low in a court of law. Since he has been there extradition laws that other countries have so far been his way out of US courts. He has not sought legal ways to deny the allegations and probably has some high end lawyers working for him, too. If he were in New York denying the charges he would have his day in court, but he's in Europe, where he fled from the guilty verdict. Since he's been there, he has kept more than his nose clean, if you know what I mean. Well, maybe.

Just like Cosby. As a kid I remember him on PBS and all the comedy he did. One of his short films was shown in my 6th grade Social Studies class to tell us how idiotic all prejudices against anyone are. He was an icon to my generation and beyond. But he's also a raping and pedo monster.

Roman Polanski: ‘Everyone else fancies little girls too’ – Telegraph Blogs (archive.org)

He admits it himself and thinks 'everyone else' (whatever that is) is just as disgusting as he is. He's boasting about it!

Polanski is a paedo. If he was innocent of these crimes as he claims, he wouldn't have hid from justice for 50 years.

People who support Polanski endorse sex with minors - but won't admit it, of course.

Yet their sick ways come out in some manner and they can't hide it all the time. R Kelly bragged about laying with 11 y/o girls and his first marriage was to a 15 y/o. Donald Trump's incestuous lust is obvious and he often says 'the younger, the better'. Not to mention the things he said and did to those Miss Teen USA contestants.

Being a good movie actor or director or musician or anything gets you off the hook if you're a sick-o pervert or sex assaulter. Word is that Steven Seagal had similar allegations against him himself, he fled to Russia and is now a Russian citizen. He's a member of the Duma and is a lackey for Putin, constantly sassing off the U.S.A. He is a turncoat. And I liked his action movies too, a good stuntman. Now he's a runt.

That's Hollywood! It's a jungle out there where money lurks behind every set and at every party. "Mulholland Drive" nails that world for the naive. But now's a bit too late to catch the nonagenarian predator.

Polanski is scum. So is Hollywood who couldn’t even acknowledge and give credit to Sound of Freedom with not so much as one nomination.

Anyone remember Rosemary’s Baby in the scene with Satan’s child and the Japanese guy taking pictures?

Where are all the usually out spoken Hollywood “celebrities” on this? Where’s the Kenergy?

A woman has sued director Roman Polanski, alleging he raped her in his home when she was a minor in 1973.

This tells you everything you need to know about this 'story'.
