Roman Polanski arrested in Zürich

[Syt]

Didn't Nicholson have sex with one of his daughter's friends?

I would be shocked if he hadn't.  It's Jack Nicholson.  He can score any chick he likes.

Nicholson later had a 17-year romance with Anjelica Huston, who repeatedly looked the other way while he wandered, but she finally ended their relationship when Nicholson told her he had impregnated his daughter's best friend, Rebecca Broussard.

I guess USA doesn't have more recent and serious crime to care about, as they seems to have spent a lot of time and effort to snatch him up 

Oddly, Polanski had been several times to Switzerland after he fled the U.S., but never had trouble with the police before.

Fucking awesome.

Cant wait to see the so called "cultural elite" go nut over his arrest, demanding he should set free at once, becourse the Americans are nazis and the girl was a tart who deserved it...

Had it been a ordinary 44 year old man who had drug raped a 13 year old girl would the same people be calling for his balls to be cut of...

And he likely wouldn't have had his balls cut off but done a few years in jail, and had the possibility of rehabilitation, and putting it behind him. Rapists in the US get less time than copyrighted file downloaders.

Well it was rape because she was underage (and this Does Not mitigate the crime in my eyes) not because he broke into her house and beat her and raped her. He made a really bad judgment gave a kid he knew some grass etc and had sex. He should have done time for those things. He's a creepy Uncle rapist not a predator.

But he didn't. And he wasn't pursued all that hard til now. Why now? He's been to Switzerland tons of times before .
Does Old Man Polanski somehow deserve harsher treatment than the younger Polanski?

No. sentence him, suspend said sentence, move on... your long national nightmare is over.

This is retarded to arrest someone on a 30-year-old warrant, perhaps with the exception of stuff like genocide or war crimes. In fact, I don't think that would be even legal in Poland.

Anyway, wasn't Mary thirteen when Jahweh/God fucked her?

Jesus: a fruit of a statutory rape. Nice religion you've got there.

Oh who would have thought, one Polish sexual deviant defends another.

Where did you get that information? Never heard it before.

You just don't know because, let's face it, you're not really a lawyer.

It couldn't be statutory rape, since there was no law against it.

Bluebook, I hadn't heard that before either so I googled it.  It looks like that was the typical age for jewish girls to get married in that era.

Martinus:  Defeated on another point of law.  His cover blown yet again.

He should kill himself today.

I don't think the bible said anything about God taking physical form to impregnate Mary.

Oh god, I laughed out loud reading that post.

I thought divine law and morality is absolute and god-given, and does not change, as relativists would have it.

We are not talking here about the misguided and benighted Jews. We are talking about God. Surely he knows a bit more about what is right and what is wrong, even if fallible humans living at the time do not.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Not exactly what happened. He fed her qualudes and champaign in a hot tub until she was near comatose, and then had sex with her. She was 13. He was 44. They did not know one another prior to his hiring her to be his model for a magazine shoot, and throughout the first shoot he fondled her and touched her inappropriately. The second shoot - at Jack Nicholson's house while Jack was away - it was intentionally just the two of them. He went at this with the intent of having sex with her (she was a virgin, by the way).

I'd say that makes him a predator, and if it were anyone else, no one would have pity on the guy.
