Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, one of the most talked about documentaries at the Sundance Film Festival and the first to sell here this year, unfolds like a noir thriller about the director's notorious 1977 statutory rape case. But the shadowy villain in this film isn't Polanski — it's the judge who presided over his case, Laurence Rittenband. Through dozens of interviews and deft use of archival footage, director Marina Zenovich untangles the dense web of legal issues that surround the Chinatown director's sensational story and exile to France. ..

Redeeming Roman Polanski - TIME


It seems that I can do anything I want in the US as long as I will manage to fly in France then?

its never right for a judge to try and get famous like that.

13 is very young, but some states allow 13 year olds to marry with parental consent. guess he, like those states, deemed all teens able to make choices like that

Yea....and those people are called pedophiles, If you had any shred of morality you would know that.

I didn't say what he did was right.

a pedophile is someone who is attracted to immature bodies.
I wouldn't classify him as such since he dated older women.

he seemes to have been either more comfortable or actually sexually aroused by sleeping with impressionable, younger women.

I still dislike judges who use the bench for publicity.
