Bonjour,
Le monsieur "aurait" violé une gamine de 13 ans en 1977. Enfant qu'il aurait fait boire et droguée...
Je pense que la précision est importante quand même.
Cordialement.

Samantha Geimer, la victime, écrivait en février 2003, dans le Los Angeles Times cet article intitulé :
"Judge the Movie, Not the Man
Roman Polanski's 25-year-old crimes should not damage his chances for an Oscar, his victim says."
"I met Roman Polanski in 1977, when I was 13 years old. I was in ninth grade that year, when he told my mother that he wanted to shoot pictures of me for a French magazine. That's what he said, but instead, after shooting pictures of me at Jack Nicholson's house on Mulholland Drive, he did something quite different. He gave me champagne and a piece of a Quaalude. And then he took advantage of me.
It was not consensual sex by any means. I said no, repeatedly, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. I was alone and I didn't know what to do. It was scary and, looking back, very creepy. Those may sound like kindergarten words, but that's the way it feels to me. It was a very long time ago, and it is hard to remember exactly the way everything happened. But I've had to repeat the story so many times, I know it by heart.
We pressed charges, and he pleaded guilty. A plea bargain was agreed to by his lawyer, my lawyer and the district attorney, and it was approved by the judge. But to our amazement, at the last minute the judge went back on his word and refused to honor the deal.
Worried that he was going to have to spend 50 years in prison -- rather than just time already served -- Mr. Polanski fled the country. He's never been back, and I haven't seen him or spoken to him since.
Looking back, there can be no question that he did something awful. It was a terrible thing to do to a young girl. But it was also 25 years ago -- 26 years next month. And, honestly, the publicity surrounding it was so traumatic that what he did to me seemed to pale in comparison.
Now that he's been nominated for an Academy Award, it's all being reopened. I'm being asked: Should he be given the award? Should he be rewarded for his behavior? Should he be allowed back into the United States after fleeing 25 years ago?
Here's the way I feel about it: I don't really have any hard feelings toward him, or any sympathy, either. He is a stranger to me.
But I believe that Mr. Polanski and his film should be honored according to the quality of the work. What he does for a living and how good he is at it have nothing to do with me or what he did to me. I don't think it would be fair to take past events into consideration. I think that the academy members should vote for the movies they feel deserve it. Not for people they feel are popular..."

Chacun se fera son idée, sans entrer dans la polémique à propos de ce cinéaste en particulier, de savoir si d'une manière générale l'oeuvre artistique, quelques soient ses qualités, peut excuser ou non le fait de l'homme. Les exemples sont nombreux, tant littéraires que cinématographiques, passés ou récents, et les jugements, tant populaires que judiciaires, ont été variés voire contradictoires selon les personnes.
Mais cette discussion n'a rien à faire sur un forum comme perchman.com, aussi, je préfèrerais que le sujet ne soit pas continué ici.

(Re) Bonjour,
Désolé Jean mais je pense que la précision méritait d'être apportée.
On peut tout discuter (pas ici bien sûr) : l'attitude des autorités helvétiques, des USA, de Polanski, etc...
Mais juste dire que le cinéaste a été arrêté me semblait gênant, d'où ma petite précision.
Effectivement, arrêtons là, il y a d'autres endroits pour discuter de tout ça.
Cordialement.
