Director Roman Polanski lost an appeal Tuesday to be freed from a Swiss prison ahead of his possible extradition to the United States for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.
The Swiss Criminal Court said releasing Polanski on bail or under house arrest posed a high risk of flight.

Looks like the Swiss are pretty smart, smarter than the judge back in 1978.
Them Swiss are smarter than their Norwegian cousins for sure
Throw away the damn keys.
It’s really jail jail.
No, the Swiss are not stupid.
You guys just hold on to him. We want the “Short Eyes” back here. After he gets sent to prison, the REAL JUSTICE begins. LMAO!
Maybe we can arrange to have him raped by Charles Manson.
Roman Polanski is finally doing time for raping and sodomizing a 13 year old. California wouldn’t do it so the Swiss are
Surprised he changed his mind that much in only 30 years. Back then, he thought anal was the way!
If he would voluntarily report for incarceration immediately, he should have all of that he could handle!
bttt for justice
I can’t wait to hear all of the Hollywood looneys cry.
Too bad he wasn’t home when Manson’s gang slaughtered Sharon. Maybe she could have gotten away while they hacked away at Roman.
I think he will get away and cross back into France before he can be sent to the USA. My bet is that money and position will trump justice. Always has, always will.
“Pelosi to be kept in jail after losing appeal”
My heart jumped for a moment when I misread the headline.
I wonder how they came to that conclusion.
Roman Polanski would attempt to subdue his marshal escorts and attempt to hijack the plane in order to avoid extradition to the United States.
Didn’t they make a movie about that?
Well, we’d be without a bunch of great films.
I’m sure that’s comforting to the girl who was drugged & sodomized.
He did make some pretty good films, though, I’ll give you that. To tell the truth, I was pretty stunned at the time, I remember it well, it was really big news. He seemed like a pretty harmless guy. Too bad.
I wonder what happened to the girl.
Hey she’s forgiven him. He made a pretty bad mistake that’s for sure.
Polanksi didn’t have sex with a 13 year old girl, he raped her.
______________________________________________
Yeah, she forgave him after the cash settlement for an undisclosed mount.
What world do you live in that makes you call drugging then sodomizing a child a "mistake"? That is effed up. In the real world that is a heinous crime.
I didn’t say it wasn’t a heinous crime.
No, you described it as a “mistake”. In my lexicon a heinous crime is a bit more than a mistake.
Maybe because she was drugged, she doesn’t remember very well what happened. Most rape victims are not forgiving.
I wonder if her parents forgave him.
If it was my daughter, the bastard would be dead. I don’t care which country he ran away to, I would find him.
There’s some evidence to suggest her mother was whoring her out to various power players to advance her career. That doesn’t excuse Polanski’s lack of self control of course.
