Roman Polanski Waiting For Extradition Decision At His Chalet


Franco-Polish director Roman Polanski is no longer in prison, according to Folco Galli, a spokesman for the Federal Office of Justice (FOJ).

Polanski, 76, was transferred from the prison on the outskirts of Zurich to an unspecified location, for reasons of security and personal protection, before being placed under house arrest in his chalet in Gstaad, where he will await Switzerland  decision on his possible extradition to the United States.

The spokesman confirmed that, as previously announced, the famous director is expected to Gstaad in the Bernese Oberland, at the earliest Friday early afternoon.

Polanski was arrested last September 27 by Swiss police when he was involved in the film festival in Zurich.

An arrest warrant dating from 1978 had been issued against him by the United States for a rape case against a teenager.

    I’m HAPPY for Roman Polanski , Emmanuelle Seigner
    (his wife since 1989) and their two children , Elvis
    and Morgane.
    But MOST CERTAINLY HAPPY for his victim too.
    Samantha Geimer can now finally ENJOY the upcoming
    Christmas , and look back at a very bad year , but
    also knowing that things can only get better in 2010.
    I WISH EVERYBODY THE VERY BEST IN 2010.

    Mr. Polanski is a degenerate who does not deserve our respect. Polanski fled American justice like the coward he is. Polanski raped a young 13-year-old girl. Polanski pled guilty in a California Court to having sex with a minor. This guilty plea was a gift; given due to his celebrity status, having originally been charged with rape. Polanski raped this young child, after drugging her with alcohol and pharmaceuticals. Despite unsubstantiated defense claims of prosecutorial misconduct, the facts are that Polanski raped this innocent teenager, after luring her to the Hollywood home of actor Jack Nicholson, under the guise of a modeling photo shoot. After first kissing the child, Polanski performed cunilingus on this little one, then raped her committing both vaginal and anal penetration. The illegal carnal knowledge engaged in during this despicable episode was not consensual; as if a thirteen year old could give consent. Quoting Grand Jury Testimony, the young lady repeatedly said, “No!” and “No. Come on, let’s go home.” to the predator Polanski. Nor was this horrible rape statutory in nature, with the implication that this heinous act was a mere infraction of the law. Polanski was forty years plus at the time of this awful act. Is there anyone on earth that can justify this kind of conduct? One hundred fine folks, who represent incredible examples of moronic behavior, signed a demand for Polanski’s release. Woody Allen, a person who had sexual congress with the daughter of his own longtime lover, Mia Farrow. How about Whoopi Goldberg who declared on “The View,” (28th September 2009) while discussing the Polanski rape, that “It wasn’t rape-rape!” Don’t take the “Wrong View!” Polanski must be extradited to face Justice.

      If my nephew is serving 8 years for a similar charge, this one trumped up by the daughter and her lap dancing and pole dancing mom, then im sure Mr Polaski may serve a similar time for sex with a much younger girl.

    You can forget it.

    If people ASK YOU where have you been and what have
    you done on MARCH 10 this year ?
    Will you be able to tell them what you’ve done on
    that day ?
    Probably not.
    So , what did you do on march 10 , 1977 ?
    That’s the day Roman Polanski had sex with a minor.
    You have no idea what you did all those years ago.
    So tell me , what could you possibly say that makes
    any sense in a courtroom that could be useful for the
    lawyers , the jury and the judge to use AGAINST Roman
    Polanski ?
    Nothing at all.
    I REST MY CASE.
    End of an ugly rape-history.
    Roman Polanski can go home.
    NO JAILTIME IN THE USA.
    Everybody will be angry in America.
    People will think that Polanski payed the judge lots
    of money , but that’s just not true.
    THERE IS NO CASE.
    WAKE UP !!!

    “Mr. Polanski is a degenerate”

    – antisemitism
    – racism

    what’s more?

    Are you really proud of such opinions to qualify the justice?

    Judicial Misconduct in Santa Monica Courthouse is contagious and out of control.
    It is not about what Roman did – it is about a sordid judicial system at Santa Monica Courthouse California Sure there is a written constitution but Judges in the Santa Monica Courthouse ignore it, and are allowed to ignore it.
