ABC News obtained transcripts of Geimer's 1977 grand jury testimony, which resulted in six charges against Polanski.

Maybe he should run for president. Then no one would have standing against him.

You mean that you would be pissed if I plied your 13yo daughter with champagne, 1/2 a Qualude and anally raped her?!?!?!

“They include shocking details of 13-year-old Geimer testifying that the 43-year-old Polanski plied her with champagne and part of a Quaalude before performing oral, vaginal and anal intercourse on her, despite her demands to “keep away.” “

Speaking of Presidents Obama will be granting him a full pardon and will swing by on Air Force one to bring him home to a hero’s welcome after getting the Olympic thing all wrapped up

Not to mention, he plead guilty.

Jerks in the MSM. They seem to overlook this or not even have a clue what this actually was about.

You mean to tell me that Roman was also born in Hawaii but is unwilling to show his BC?

Just a thought to turn everyone’s stomach. A possible scenario.

—Polanski is extradited back to California.
—The victim (now adult) doesn’t wish to relive the crime and refuses to testify.
—Having found a lenient California judge, Polanski gets a few months in jail at most.
—After serving time, he can then return to the U.S. at will because he is no longer a fugitive.
—He is treated as a hero in Hollywood and the rest of the media quickly comes around to this point of view.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but that’s nightmarish to me. Don’t doubt it, either. It can happen.

Wood Allen supports him and that is all I need to know. I also hope that Whoopi Goldbergs daughter or grand daughter never gets stuck at a party with him. It might actually lead to a “rape-rape”.

First rate journalism! </SARC> That transcript has been publicly available on The Smoking Gun for several years...

Nor a peep out of the MSM --until their fugitive convicted felon scumboy gets caught!

They should stick a hot branding iron up his ass and cell mate him with an MS-13 homo.

Why would the victim have to testify again? He already pleaded guilty!

He pled guilty. No trial necessary.

He’s like the lowlife who raped Jessica Lundsford - both raped children - both had creepy lowlife friends who covered for them... One has more money - that matters to gold diggers - doesn’t matter to anyone else.
