This would have been dispensed with quickly 30 years ago if, as usual, LA's law enforcement and judiciary weren't filled with such mind-numbing corruption and idiocy.
Not defending Polanski's actions, although I will if it will piss off some of the morally superior screechers out there.

As I understand it, the reason he fled was because he plead guilty to a lesser charge than rape of a minor, but the Superior Court Judge wasn't going to honor the charge, and was going to sentence him to like 50 years in jail. So he fled the U.S. to France.
Whereupon, he almost imediately began dating 15-year-old Nastassja Kinski. He never expressed remorse, and in fact defended his actions by saying, "Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's incredibly boring."
Normally, the statute of limitations would have expired long ago. But Polanski pled guilty, so the charges stand.
Still, I don't believe a judge will have any interest in putting a famous, wealthy 76-year-old man behind bars, even though it's what the law requires.
Bottom line, though, is that he's a sick pedophile who should have been behind bars this whole time.

It's Charles Manson's fault. I bet he's laughing it up.

I would prefer if he rot in jail the rest of his life. His kids are grown, so it's not like he'll be depriving them. Still, I doubt it will happen, inasmuch as the girl he raped has said she has no interest in seeing him in jail.

Is this real life?
Yeah, the woman said she would stand up for him in court if necessary.
I imagine he'll be let off the hook, as celebs often are.

Any other jurisdiction would probably haul him into court, the judge would say all kinds of humiliating, angry things at him, and then he'd serve house arrest for a while and be done with it.
But this is Los Angeles, which loves to play "gotcha" with celebrities so that they don't look soft, and hates to lose or look foolish more than they care about the truth. Think OJ. Think MJ.
They railroaded Polanski after his arraignment, after cutting a deal. Having already experienced being railroaded by the Nazis and the Manson Family, he made a choice.
Yeah, he was a perv. And if they want to prosecute him for fleeing, he has it coming. But there is no reason to retry the old case, really. It would just be dragged out in the courts by both sides (the defense has plenty on the old judge and prosecutors), and he might even die before it was resolved.

And strictly speaking, he isn't one. Pedophilia is about wanting prepubescent children. His incidents with the victim and with Nastassia Kinski involved girls under a legal age, but not prepubescent girls.

13 is at the point where it's more than just ephebophilia, though.
There's a whole lot of difference between a fifteen year old and a thirteen year old, both mentally and physically.
