There has been much media coverage on the arrest of Roman Polanski. People are fighting to get him released for various reasons. One thing I think people are forgetting is this though: he raped a 13 year old girl. Why are we fighting his arrest???

I found this article on Salon.com by Kate Harding. One line sums it all up:
“Drugging and raping a child, then leaving the country before you can be sentenced for it, is behavior our society should not tolerate, no matter how famous, wealthy or well-connected you are.”
