Over 100 In Film Community Sign Polanski Petition - indieWIRE

AFP is reporting that a grand assembly of filmmakers, actors and producers from around the world have signed a petition urging the release of director Roman Polanski, who was arrested Sunday in Switzerland on a warrant for a 1977 underage sex case in the United States. Woody Allen, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Martin Scorcese, David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, Harmony Korine, Stephen Frears, Alexander Payne, Michael Mann, Wim Wenders, Tilda Swinton, Julian Schnabel, and Pedro Almodovar are among the 100 and counting film industry figures who have signed the petition, coordinated from France by the SACD, an organization which represents performance and visual artists.

Originally published in The Washington Post, March 13, 1977

LOS ANGELES, March 12, 1977 — Polish film director Roman Polanski, widower of murdered actress Sharon Tate, was free on bond today on charges of luring a 13-year-old girl to the home of Jack Nicholson under the pretext of photographing her, then drugging and raping her.

Polanski, 43, was arrested by police to Beverly Wilshire Hotel Friday night following the incident Thursday night at Nicholson's Bel Air home.

In addition to the rape charges, Polanski also was booked on suspicion of sodomy, child molestation and furnishing dangerous drugs to a minor. He was released on $2,500 bond pending his arraignment March 18.

Nicholson was reportedly out of town at the time. A spokesman for the district attorney's office told reporters that Polanski recently met the girl's mother and arranged for the girl to pose for some photographs for the French edition of Vogue magazine.

He said Polanski took some pictures at a first photographic session two weeks ago, and among these pictures was one of the girl nude from the waist up.

He said the mother became angry when she saw the picture and questioned her daughter when she returned home from the second photographic session Thursday night. Officers said the girl told her mother that Polanski had given her a tablet of the powerful tranquilizing drug Quaalude.

The director then raped the girl and forced her to commit various sex acts with him, police said.

Polanski made no public comment on his arrest. He surrendered peacefully when he was taken into custody at the hotel.



So, now a veritable potpourri of left wingers are demanding the release of Polanski who plead guilty to charges of unlawful sex with a 13 year old.

He should be locked away forever. How can these libs say its okay to let a pedophile (he plead guilty) off the hook regardless of how long ago it happened?

This kind of thinking is where you go once you head down the path of liberalism.

Wow, do you just get home and post directly from the Drudge report?

sounds to me like a fellow lib wished it hadn't been posted. does the source of the information change the disgusting nature and mindset of these people of influence? but what the hell, i'm sure they are entitled to whatever foul stance they have on pedaphelia and rape since they aren't racists

Wow, I am so out of the loop - none of the "liberals" I know condone rape, underage sex, or pedophiles.

In fact they tend to be much more outspoken about the issue than many conservative people and institutions.

P.S. I am absolutely shocked that Woody Allen (you know the guy who had sex with and then married his stepdaughter) is supporting pervy Polanski.

Not sure I understand. The inner mental workings of the mind of director Roman Polanski is directly synonomous of every liberal's thought patterns? His sin has stained all Liberals and progressive causes, permanently?

That is like saying Palin: A View into the Conservative Mindset. (...and William F Buckley would roll over in his grave, amongst others).

Methinks you generalize way too much. I am new here, but you seem to be one of the folks that creates political threads, not for the purpose of reasonable discussion, but to purposefully promote non-discussion and more disharmony over an issue, so you can shore up your small, shallow, intellectual base. You create threads to satisfy some type of inner isolation or repression, no?

And just who do you think you are AlphaCrab, trying to inject logic into another flamin' thread?

my use of the word "they" was not directed at all libs. it was directed at the 100 folks on the petition. i should have chosen my words more clearly as that wasn't the point i was making. do you not see anything wrong with this petition?

What I find most interesting in this is the article of arrest by Washington Post written in 1977: '...furnishing dangerous drugs'; and, 'He was released on $2,500 bond pending his arraignment March 18.'

Next interesting is that France never arrested and extricated him, yet Switzerland has.......and, he admitted to the 'affair' many years ago.

Not surprising: Woody Allen signing the petition......hello? Didn't he have sex with his daughter? Yes, adopted, but his daughter nonetheless. Next not surprising is that the petition originated from France.

Big question: Will he now serve his term from 1977? Would the sentence on sex with a minor be lengthier today?

To Whoopi Goldberg, I ask..... What the hell is 'rape rape?'

Methinks you didn't read my post.

I'm not talking about the mindset of Polanski. I was talking about the mindset of the liberal crowd of influencers in Hollyweird that signed a petition to free Polanski the child molester after finally being arrested for a horrific crime he committed.

The Polanski issue is not an obscure news story. It's about a 40 something year old pedophile (who happens to be a famous director) that drugged and sodomized a 13 year old girl. It's about a horrific crime and a person that ran from the law in order to escape punishment for a crime he admitted to.

I haven't noticed you objecting to rabblerousing posts by some of your liberal buds that are based on shallow intellectual assumptions and very flawed data. What's up with that?
