What I find most disturbing is how everybody is willing to forgive and forget when the pedophile turns out to be a brilliant man in his own field. Like Michael Jackson, now Roman Polanski. If it were you or me this case was about there would be no discussion other then "youre a fucked up pedophile and off to jail you go". The "hes been through enough" excuse can only be used so many times. Surviving the holocaust and your wife being brutally murdered in no way gives you the right to molest young children.
While he will always be one of my favorite directors, the man admits to being a pedophile. That he would admit that to the public I think is cause for concern regarding his state of mind, regardless of how he rationalizes it. I think no leniency should be given, I think he needs to go to prison and serve his time. He did it to himself.
And to the people that think America is "evil" for doing this - youre out of your minds. Thats called the law.
