As he tried to enter Switzerland to receive a lifetime achievement award, filmmaker Roman Polanski was arrested in connection with the 1977 rape of an American 13-year-old. What do you think?

  • Yeah, like every 13-year-old girl in the country at the time wasn't absolutely crazy about Chinatown director Roman Polanski."

  • I'm sure now that he's been captured, justice can finally be evaded with money."

    Molli Kass
    Firefighter

  • Oh, I’m sure she’s over it by now. The average woman only needs like two years max to get over a rape if it's by someone famous."
