Here are a couple more links that might be useful:
Polanski in interview with Martin Amis is completely unrepentant (http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/michaeldeacon/100011795/roman-polanski-everyone-else-fancies-little-girls-too/): “If I had killed somebody, it wouldn’t have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But… f—ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f— young girls. Juries want to f— young girls. Everyone wants to f— young girls!”
Court transcript in which Polanski pleads guilty and states that he knew the age of the victim. (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0928091polanskiplea1.html)
Success! (He had thought there had been an explicit sentence bargain the judge was reneging on, and the plea clearly refutes that.)
Quoth Don Quixote: "Well, in that case, let the bastard hang. And the people saying, "Oh, poor old rich famous white man, his victim has moved on, why can't the law" are ridiculously full of shit.
Thanks for taking the time to find me links that clarify the situation and assist in my peace of mind."
