I would love to hear their arguement.....

.....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.


They were among 138 people in the film industry who signed a petition against the arrest.

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.

The filmmakers objected to his being arrested en route to the film festival, which held a tribute to him this year.

I'm pleased to see the law catch up with him.

A person's brilliance in one area does not (and should not) place them above the law. I can't understand how his colleagues can advocate for his release. If the perpetrator was an unknown/poor person, I can't imagine these same people calling for his release. I mean, it's not very acceptable in most circles to condone or promote paedophilia.

When you take the "film-maker" out of the equation, you are left with a man who was convicted of the rape of a 13 year old. Whether this 13 year old protested or not, it is still considered illegal. The addition of "film-maker" to the equation should have no bearing on this. If a member of my profession was convicted of paedophilia, I certainly wouldn't consider condoning these actions based on his profession, and I can't imagine other members of the profession doing so either.

Actually he wasn't - thats what he was charged with (Rape/Sodomy/Lewd Conduct and a few more) but he made a plea bargain and was covicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.

He obviously got away with more than he did.

OK then, "unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor".

But the point still stands - I am sure his supporters would not be calling for his absolution from having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor were he not a famous filmmaker.

I wasn't dissagring I was making the point that he has already got away with a plea bargain to a lesser crime..

Sure, point taken.

Hopefully he will serve the appropriate sentence...
