Swiss Reject U.S. Request to Extradite Polanski

The film director won’t be extradited to face charges of unlawful sex with a minor because of a possible fault in the American extradition application, an official said.

Senh: I'm not sure what real justice would be in this case. The victim has already publicly expressed that she doesn't want him criminalized. The two sides had already reached a settlement decades ago. Yes, he did have sex with a minor. Yes, it's statutory rape. Logically, he should be in jail serving time. Otherwise, it would seem like he bought his way out of this whole mess and sets a bad precedent.
