CNN ^ | 9-29-09

ZURICH, Switzerland (CNN) -- Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar and Martin Scorsese have "demanded the immediate release" of fellow filmmaker Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. arrest warrant related to a 1977 child sex charge.

Polanski was on the way to the Zurich Film Festival when Swiss police detained him in response to the American warrant.

The filmmaker pleaded guilty in 1977 to having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor but fled before he could be sentenced. He settled in France, where he holds citizenship. Investigators in the United States say Polanski, then 43, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl.

Woody Allen has no sense of irony whatsoever.

I think the victim was paid off....and now wants it all to go away.

Does she not care how this can impact other potential 13 yr old victims?

Polanski needs his day in court...

..and we should take note who is defending him....

....Scorsese, Whoopi, Woody Allen (what a joke)...

I really want to know who defends the rape of a child

Woody Allen has no sense of irony whatsoever.

At least, Polanski was not related to his victim.

Almodovar is openly gay. Allen married his own stepdaughter.
Scorsese is a liberal hack.

The one factoid that I haven’t seen on this is how much time the perv is facing in prison.

I can just hear each one of them now, "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" Puffed-up self important liberals...

Maybe these old men can make up a list of all the people who are soooooooo special they're above the law. Within this attitude is the reason most people have quit going to the movies...
