Roman Polanski was recently arrested in Switzerland for a child rape he committed in 1977. Despite the extreme depravity of the offense and Polanski’s evasion of justice for over three decades, there have been cries of outrage from the liberal media over his arrest.

If some Joe Sixpack picked up a 17 year old in a bar in California, took her home and had consensual sex with her, he could be looking at statutory rape charges. If convicted, he would be on a sex offender list for the rest of his life, and he’d be looking at serious jail time. The age of consent is still 18 in California, Oregon and Wisconsin. It’s been reduced to either 17 or 16 in most other states. Back when the age of consent was still 18 in Illinois, there used to be an old saying that “17 will get you 20″ meaning you could be looking at 20 years in prison in a worst case scenario if you had sex with a 17 year old.

Roman Polanski did not merely “miss” the age of consent by a year or two. He had sex with a 13 year old child, who repeatedly told him “No” after he gave her drugs. Polanski’s crime was a very real rape of a child. Amazingly, there is a chorus of support for Polanski among liberals, the Hollywood crowd and even some foreign governments.

One Internet source notes “In 1977, Polanski, then aged 44, became embroiled in a scandal involving 13-year-old Samantha Gailey (now Samantha Geimer). It ultimately led to Polanski’s guilty plea to the charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. According to Geimer, Polanski asked Geimer’s mother if he could photograph the girl for the French edition of Vogue, which Polanski had been invited to guest-edit. Her mother allowed a private photo shoot. According to Geimer in a 2003 interview, ‘Everything was going fine; then he asked me to change, well, in front of him.’ She added, ‘It didn’t feel right, and I didn’t want to go back to the second shoot.’ Geimer later agreed to a second session, which took place on March 10, 1977 at the Mulholland area home of actor Jack Nicholson in Los Angeles. ‘We did photos with me drinking champagne,’ Geimer says. ‘Toward the end it got a little scary, and I realized he had other intentions and I knew I was not where I should be. I just didn’t quite know how to get myself out of there.’ She recalled in a 2003 interview that she began to feel uncomfortable after he asked her to lie down on a bed, and how she attempted to resist. ‘I said, ‘No, no. I don’t want to go in there. No, I don’t want to do this. No!’, and then I didn’t know what else to do,’ she stated, adding: ‘We were alone and I didn’t know what else would happen if I made a scene. So I was just scared, and after giving some resistance, I figured well, I guess I’ll get to come home after this’.[32] Geimer testified that Polanski gave her a combination of champagne and quaaludes[33], a sedative drug, then kissed her… penetrated her vaginally, and then penetrated her anally, each time after being told ‘no’ and being asked to stop.”

Polanski knew exactly how old his victim was. She wasn’t a 17 year old, who looked 21; she was a 13 year old girl. Amazingly, the worst charges against Polanski were dropped in a plea deal.

The same Internet source goes on “Polanski was initially charged[38] with rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance (methaqualone) to a minor. These charges were dismissed under the terms of his plea bargain, and he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor…”

Polanski then fled back to France, where for some inexplicable reason, they weren’t willing to extradite Polanski for child rape.

Many of the same people who demand that the charges against Polanski be dropped and forgotten will demand that a 90 year old Ukrainian go on trial on trumped up charges that he was a guard at a concentration camp during World War Two.

So a Jewish director who rapes a 13 year old child is a “wonderful” person who deserves forgiveness while an elderly eastern European who helped fight the Communists in World War Two needs to be dragged before a court and prosecuted for imaginary war crimes.

Whenever you hear a Jew talking about justice, remember the incredible double standard that Jews support.
