Roman Polanski must finally pay for his crime

By Tony Parsons 3/10/2009


He did the crime but not the time – so can some Tinseltown tosser please explain to me how Roman Polanski has become a victim?
Finally apprehended for his grotesque sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl, the diminutive director had supporters shrieking for his immediate release.
Debra Winger appeared in a state of tearful outrage, acting as if nicking a 76-year-old paedophile was a monstrous miscarriage of justice.
Author Robert Harris, whose novel The Ghost was currently in production with Polanski, claims the arrest is, “disgusting… humiliating… monstrous”.
And actress Whoopi Goldberg claimed sodomising a child was not actually “rape-rape”.
Oh, that’s right, Whoopi, what’s wrong with anal sex between a Hollywood director and a drugged child, right?
Who are these cretins? Who are these apologists for child abuse? What planet do they come from?
Because Roman Polanski is an artist they want him to be given a get-out-of-jail-free card. It doesn’t work that way.
In 1977, when Polanski coaxed 13-year-old Samantha Geimer to a Hollywood mansion for a “photo-shoot”, he was at the height of his powers. It would be difficult to imagine someone with more sexual opportunities than the director of Chinatown. And yet the endless supply of starlets was not enough for our randy little sex dwarf. He wanted forbidden fruit. And he got caught.
But, before he could be sentenced, he fled America.
And despite all the accolades from luvvies like Harrison Ford, who collected Polanski’s Oscar for him in 2003, the director has been on the run ever since. If he had stayed in France – where they don’t mind a bit of child rape if you are a tortured artist – then he would have died in his bed.
But Polanski got arrogant – and it is exactly that kind of arrogance that led him to believe he could get away with sodomising a 13-year-old girl.
And as Polanski fights extradition to the United States, in Britain, a grubby little man named Matthew Knott has had his teaching career destroyed by a crime remarkably similar to Polanski’s.
Knott has been jailed for four years for having sex with a 13-year-old girl he groomed on the internet – the 21st century version of Roman Polanski’s “photo-shoot” ruse.
I would say Knott is getting off lightly. A 13-year-old girl is a child, not a woman. And if there are men who lack the moral compass to understand that fact, then they need to feel the full wrath of the law.
There is not one rule for a teacher like Matthew Knott and another for a world-famous director like Roman Polanski.
Child rape deserves a jail sentence.
And it doesn’t matter a damn that it was more than 30 years ago.
And it doesn’t matter a damn that Polanski’s mother died in Auschwitz or that his wife Sharon Tate died at the hands of the Manson Family.
Most people go through personal tragedy without being turned into child abusers. Justice has been a long time finding this sleazy little man.
But it has found him at last.

There is evil in the world. We all know that. What I could be praised of, even if I am not sure also, but it’s two things. Number one, yes, is to fight moral [relativism], multi culturalism, which means the strange attitude which consists in saying that a practice and attitude which would be a crime in America, or in France, should be admitted somewhere else. For example, to oblige a woman to veil her face or to encage her head should be criminal in America. Again, the formal and the real equality between men and women, suddenly, in Afghanistan or in Pakistan, it is okay. And those who pretend to condemn that are racist, neo-colonialist, neo-imperialist. So, what I say, either this attitude of moral relativism, appreciating an attitude differently according to the context and to the place where people are [rooted], this is one of my, or the thing… maybe one of the thing I try to do in “Left In Dark Times.”
