An important question to ask, no? Not necessarily for the sake of justice — as a 76-year-old, he’s unlikely to be prosecuted again — but for the sake of determining just how much child molestation a masterpiece like “Chinatown” entitles you to. By my count, we’ve got one confirmed incident (a rape-rape, in Whoopi Goldberg terminology, not statutory rape) per the guilty plea that he entered in L.A. in 1977; we’ve got a likely statutory case via his, ahem, “romance” with 15-year-old Nastassja Kinski; and we’ve got this charming anecdote dug up Mark Steyn, which pre-dates both of those incidents.
Jonah, in my weekend column, I quote Robert Towne, the screenwriter of Chinatown, who says he found it hard to concentrate during writing sessions at Polanski’s place, what with “the teenyboppers that Roman would run out and take Polaroid pictures of diving off the f***ing diving board without tops on. Which was distracting. With braces.”
I guess “teenybopper” could encompass a range of ages, although I don’t know many 18-year-olds to whom that term is normally applied — and who, at that age, are still having their teeth straightened.

Many I would bet, including in EuroSplat
None talking because of payoffs....
You can bet your ass that he never got caught again, or before.
Counting Barney Frank or not? (OK, my bad.)
Nastassja Kinski, that’s right now I remember.
Love Woody Allen’s red-rimmed, OLD MAN eyes. I bet his child-bride just loves that. Yuck. (on the Link).
I think celebrities stick up for him because what group in the world could have possibly had sex with more underage fans?
Lets face it..the way THEY see it they are protecting one of their biggest PERKS....
But, his “girls” are still alive.
Unlike one (that we know of) associated with dead ted.
Don’t miss the Dragnet video at the bottom of the Hot Air page, if you haven’t seen it.
Ummm... a 5 or so years after that, while in college, I encountered orthodonture. And a colleague of mine started just a few years ago, and he's almost 50.
Yeah, that’s been my question. What Polanski did couldn’t have been the first time he did it, nor the last. Just like Bill “put some ice on it” Clinton and Juanita Broadrick. It wasn’t his first rape, nor his last.
These people are totally amoral. All actions are ‘relative’ to what they feel at the moment. To them the Ten Commandments are not even the Ten Suggestions. To swipe a phrase from MM...SICKO!
Welcome to the lifestyles of our elitist ruling class, only shocker to them is he is actually being held accountable for raping a child. If you have not read “The Franklin Cover-up” or “The Franklin Scandal”, you do not understand how these guys operate (that is if you can stomach getting through the books). Usually, anyone that tries to hold them accountable gets squashed like a bug.
Most kids start their braces in 12-14 age bracket. There are always exceptions but we don’t call college kids or 50yrs olds...teenyboppers.
