Polanski Can't Attempt to Flee Until Friday

We had previously reported that Roman Polanski, 76, is out of a Swiss jail on 4.5 million bail.  That is not yet true.  His bail has been approved at 4.5 million.  He has not yet been released because he has not yet posted the bail.  

He is expected to post the money by Friday.  He will then be under house arrest in his mansion in the Swiss Alps.  He was convicted in 1977 of having sex with a 13 year old girl in the United States.  He fled before sentencing and has been living a lavish life in France, who refused to extradite him.  Apparently France likes pedophiles.

Polanski was arrested on a 31 year-old international arrest warrant in Switzerland.  The United States requested extradition on October 23, 2009.  Polanski is likely to forfeit the 4.5 million bail and attempt to flee again, based on his past history.  Most of Hollywood refused to hold him accountable for his past acts.

Polanski Out on Bail in Switzerland

Roman Polanski has gotten out on bail.  He has put up $4.5 million to get on house arrest in Switzerland.   This is a man with unlimited resources who has a history of flight risk.  Good job, Switzerland.  Polanski has been negotiating with Switzerland ever since he was arrested, apparently he doesn't like jail.  Little girls don't like being raped, either.  I'm convinced he will never see justice.

Roman Polanski Removed from Swiss Jail, taken to Zurich Hosptial

Roman Polanski's attorney has confirmed that the child rapist has been taken to a Zurich hospital.  He is undergoing a series of medical tests.  After his tests are completed he will be returned to the jail.  His attorney said his condition is not of exceptional gravity.  That's good, he needs to live to be punished for the crime he ran from so long ago.

Roman Polanski Doesn't Like Jail - Cry Me a River

Roman Polanski's lawyer says that Polanski, 76, is tired, depressed, and dejected since being arrested and placed in a Swiss Jail.  His lawyers have been unable to get him released on bail because he's a huge flight risk, based on his past behavior.  If his lawyers continue to be unable to get him released on bail he will stay behind bars in Switzerland until extradition is decided.  This is likely to take quite some time because he refuses to just man up and deal with his crime.  He is fighting extradition.  He raped a 13 year old girl after luring and drugging her.  One would think at 76 he would have grown up and have some remorse.  What a vile creature he is.

Roman Polanski Arrested in Switzerland - Finally

Roman Polanski, director of Rosemary's Baby and several subsequent films, was arrested in Switzerland today 31 years after an international warrant was issued.  His pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family in 1969.  In 1977, Polanski lured a 13-year-old girl to Jack Nicholson's home, drugged her and raped her.  He was convicted of the unlawful intercourse with a minor back but fled before sentencing.  He has been living the good life in Paris ever since, still directing.  He was not extradited because of France's limited extradition policy with the United States.  Polanski, 76, traveled to Switzerland to attend the Zurich Film Festival where he was to achieve a lifetime achivement award.  He was arrested upon arrival in Switzerland.  Now the United States has to make an extradition request.  Polanski has publically traveled to Switzerland several times since the warrant was issued.  It is unknown why this time was different.
