Swiss Court Approves Polanski's Bail Offer!
Money talks!
A Swiss court has approved Roman Polanski's bail offer of $4.5 million in exchange for his release from jail and going under house arrest and electronic monitoring at his chalet in Switzerland.
Sounds like living in a Swiss chalet 24/7 would be really rough.
The Swiss Justice Ministry is keeping Polanski in jail until they reach a decision on whether or not to appeal his release. They have 10 days to appeal.
Though Polanski's still considered a high flight risk, the Swiss Criminal Court has said that the new bail offer is "significant enough to offset those concerns."
Supposedly this development will not affect the Swiss government deciding to extradite Polanski to the US or not for his crime of raping a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
But one thing always leads to another and if they do release him from jail it looks like Polanski could ultimately get away with it again.
Disgraceful.

Yeah, ’cause he hasn't proven to be a flight risk in the past. He'll be across the border to a country who is willing to overlook that he's a rapist within a week. Unreal. Just goes to prove yet again that the rich and famous live by another set of rules. Or lack of rules as the case may be.
i wish somebody would brutally buttrape this fucker.
That sucks. I am sure it will make all of his Hollywood friends happy.
Will they be paying with riches that they stole during WW2? And look what they consider a worthy cause….Swiss morals.
somebody once told me that the swiss have bombs planted at all their borders so that if shit goes wack and there is lots of war and chaos in europe they will blow up all the entraces to switzerland so that their people will be safe and the rest of europe can't get in and get any help from them.
fuck the swiss. selfish dickheads who like rapists.
Come on, he drugged and raped some underage girl and then fled the country. Is that really such a big deal?
So, you drug a 13 y/o girl, anally rape her, and all it costs to clear yourself is 4.5 million dollars? What an amazing message to send to pedophiles everywhere! vIf you have enough money, you can do whatever you want! Thank god I don't live in Sweden. The man is sick and belongs behind bars!
Whatever. Let him out. I dare anyone to do IT….. A Russian Tiger mysteriously disappeared today. Perhaps HE is looking to do a little schussing in the alps….. Cockroaches, rice and lice……. Yuck!!! SEE MY STRIPES!!
Tigers like snow. Monkeys usually don't. Tropical fish need food, heat and light to survive. Poor Red. The Orangeville Humane Society recklessly abandoned her AND left her alone, cold and hungry for almost thirty days when I was in jail, networking with the C team. THEY told my friends that she was safe…..

That 13 year old said herself she wanted it and tryed everything under the sun to fuck him so who care….. let him go… your waisting precious tax dollars and valuable time on something not even worth prosecuting.
Re: pghamy – My point EXACTLY!! Well said.
wtf cares,she want it and is totally fine with it now ,ok a bit wrong on his moral fiber but bottom line wtf cares
Of course they took 4.5 million. They are idiots!
I don't care who he is, or how much money he has, he raped a teenager and needs to step up for the punishment. He's a pedophile and a rapist. I can't believe all the hollywood f's who stand up for this guy. For me, bail would be denied.
think you guys should read what really happened before you believe perez's nonsense. She wasn't raped, it was consentual, she wasn't drugged either. She was indeed underage but she wasn't drugged or raped and underage sex was merely frowned upon then, it wasn't classed as paedophilia then.
hes disgraceful and he was in on the murder of his wife and unborn child, why? it was a sacrifice for his career as a director and then he rapes that girl! the "elite" are truly fucked up
love how they just overlook the flight risk concerns because he's dishing out tons of money. then when people bitch about hating on the rich… it's for very good reason. money runs the world.
The Swiss must be the dumbest people on Earth. He's a proven flight risk. Of course he'll run.
hey, stop! you don't the circumstances. This girl may have pretended to be older than she was, and lured him in! INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

Re: Starbella – no he wasn't in on his pregnant fiancé's brutal murder by Charles Manson you direspectful arsehole
The fact that all of a sudden we want this guy after 32 years is baffling to me. Admittedly, I’m not up on why we didn’t go after him, say…well, immediately is always a good answer? Even if we didn’t know where he was exactly, the guy’s been directing films. We can’t find a friggin’ movie set? Gotta be easier than finding a Somalian warlord, or WMDs. I’m just sayin.
You’ll pardon me if I don’t hold my breath that this guy will ever appear in a US court, right?
Re: hajj_3 – I think YOUR dumb ass needs to look up the facts. She was indeed plied with alcohol and drugs (NEITHER of which is allowed for a 13-year-old, even then) and then sodomized by this bastard. And there is NO SUCH THING as consensual when you are 13, even "back then". Just because you're a pedophile, don't try to defend another one to somehow make your own sick proclivities seem more justified.
this is disgusting. dude should be castrated and thrown in jail. then he'll understand what it's like to be raped. piece of shit.
In just about every article I've read they've quoted other "artists" praising him and they've played the "Holocaust" and ""Manson Family" sympathy cards. I don't know what those have to do with his penchant for young girls or the current charges against him?
I wonder if he comes back tot he States if all those people who are praising him, and poo-pooing the charges against him, would allow him to share a room with THEIR underage daughter?
This disgusts me. I hope they appeal ASAP. Good to know the swiss can be bought. I feel ashamed that I studied in Zurich for a year and contributed to a society that is swayed by a poultry amount like 4 million dollars.

Re: iloveperezandr-pattz –
HE ALREADY WAS PROVEN GUILTY YOU STUPID IGNORANT LITTLE COWARDLY PIECE OF GARBAGE. HE EVEN ADMITTED TO IT YOU ASSHOLE.
The girl wanted it, is it a rape because she was 13 ? Come on, Elvis was fucking Priscilla and she was 14, but he was the king so that must be ok…
What a bunch of hypocrites morons prudes you are…
Re: hajj_3 – Re: maxie pad – I guess not unless its your little girl….sad.
Re: NeimaD. – Are you kidding?!?! Seriously are you?! What part of "I SAID NO NO" implies she wanted it? So she drank the champagne the 40 YEAR OLD MAN gave her, and took the pills he told her to when she was alone with him in a strange house and he was her only way home. Yeah what a little sleaze…you are the biggest kind of idiot.
Re: hajj_3 – Where in hell did you get those "facts" from..cause they are completely wrong. He gave her pills, champagne and when he was "consensually" having sex with, and sodomizing her she said NO repeatedly. And your a moron cause pedophilia was not just "frownedupon" back then. The guy got off on a bogus plea because of who he was and the judge was completely corrupt…and then when he was set to serve like 8 Measly MONTHS he wussed out and skipped the country. I hope they send his disgusting rear end to do even his 8 months and the other prisoners find out why he is there and can show him just how great it feels to be on the receiving end of the torture. Even after that short of time he will never be the same. GOOD.
Re: Mad Dog – I agree. Idiots!
How would he like it if someone drugged, raped and sodomized his 16 year old daughter or 11 year old son? He disgusts me and deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. How dare he act like it's all ok?
this is not right
Actually if you watch an interview with the woman, she clearly said he gave her champagne and a little something to help her headache…which turned out to be a qualude. She told him she wanted to go home, it was not consensual. She has since made peace with what happened and doesn't want to have to go through with the publicity again. But it WAS rape.
Nice of the Swiss to accept his bribe.
13 year old girls today(and even then) act and look 18+, who are we to judge that roman had any doubt that this girl was of age? having two daughters, i know how to teach my daughters to dress and behave. if only more of society did this……
Re: iloveperezandr-pattz – of course ignorant people like you are unaware of this…but they all worship BAPHOMET and they need to sacrifice! he was in on it ignorant sheep
He'll jump bail-and be careful to never set foot in a country with an extradition treaty to the States ever again. It sure is nice being filthy rich and famous. Any other child rapist would have been raked over the coals decades ago.
Re: sabremb – Good point-except that he is in Switzerland-not Sweden.
