(CNN) -- Filmmaker Roman Polanski has been arrested on an arrest warrant stemming from a decades-old sex charge, Swiss police said Sunday.
The Academy Award-winning director pleaded guilty in 1977 to a single count of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, acknowledging he had sex with a 13-year-old girl, but fled the United States before he could be sentenced. U.S. authorities issued a warrant for his arrest in 1978
It only took 32 years, but we've finally seen justice served. It's ironic that it was his own ego that brought him down:
He was en route to the Zurich Film Festival, which is holding a tribute to him, when he was arrested by Swiss authorities, the festival said.
Guess you should have checked the extradition record between Switzerland and the United States, eh? Gee, I'm all broke up aboug this one. I mean, now who's ass is Harrison Ford going to kiss?
I find it sickening that the article focuses on poor Roman Polanski, who has suffered from the publicity of this crime for 32 years, blah blah blah. There's allegations of misconduct on the part of the judge - who is long dead. The victim herself wants to get this behind her, saying that the only piece left is to close this case so she can stop hearing about it and reopening old wounds.
Now, just maybe, we can have justice - even for the rich and famous...
That is all.

The MSM can downplay this all they want, but anybody who thinks it's okay to be messing around with a 13 year old needs to be in a cage. Period, end of story.
Don't count on it Jay...
I'm very curious to see how this came about, it's not like Polanski hasn't been all over Europe since he fled the United States.
Something tells me the Swiss were felling some American breath down their necks.
Bring me the list of everyone who got high-horse in their outrage over Catholic priests sexually abusing children, and then bring me the list of everyone who is an apologist for this scumbag. I bet there is a fairly high correlation.
