Switzerland Not Sending Polanski Back

Monday, July 12th, 2010

A forty-six-year-old having sex with a 13-year-old? Totally cool in Switzerland. After nine months of house arrest, the Swiss government has denied the United States’ request to extradite Polanski for his sex crime, which he pleaded guilty to, in 1977. The Swiss have good company as rape apologists, as last year more than 100 of Hollywood’s finest also offered their support of Polanski. Here is the shithead list.

As reported by The Guardian:

The Swiss decision is likely to cause diplomatic tensions between Switzerland and the US.

[Eveline Widner-Schlumpf, a ministry official] added: “The reason for the decision lies in the fact that it was not possible to exclude with the necessary certainty a fault in the US extraditionary request.”

E! Online makes a good point: Lindsey Lohan has to go to jail, but Roman Polanski doesn’t?
