You’d want it hushed up if Roman Polanski ever had sex with you, wouldn’t you? Because, really, Roman Polanski? Urgh.
Obviously it’d be far worse if Roman Polanski had sex with you when you were 13, then admitted to it, and then ran off to France for 30 years so he couldn’t be sentenced.
Which is why the girl at the centre of the rape case, Samantha Geimer, has announced that she wants Roman Polanski’s charges dropped. Then maybe people will concentrate on the more attractive people she’s slept with, like a plastic heron or that mouse with the gigantic ear grafted onto its back.
There’s a growing chance that Roman Polanski will be returning to America in the next couple of weeks. He hasn’t been there for 30 years – since he admitted to having sex with a 13-year-old girl and legged it to France before anyone could sentence him – and we’re sure he’ll be surprised at how it’s changed.
The cars look different, for a start, and the TVs are bigger. And he’s bound to notice the crowds of furious people who scream “RAPIST GO HOME!” all the time and constantly push mounds of dogmuck through the letterbox of wherever he’s staying, too. Yes, America sure has changed.
But that’s assuming that Roman Polanski will be returning to America. It all depends on the outcome of his quest to have his charges dropped. Based on a documentary that uncovered several alleged wrongdoings on the part of the deputy district attorney at the time, Roman Polanski seems certain that his charges should all be dismissed, allowing him to return to America. Besides, it’s not as if Roman Polanski is going to have sex with any more children, is it? He’s 75 years old now, so chances are he can only get an erection these days with the aid of a bowl of pharmaceuticals and an intricate system of pulleys and winches.
However, Roman Polanski’s plans might be stumped by the LA superior court’s demand that he come to America first to ask for his charges to be dropped – an obvious ploy to get him out into the open so he can be arrested.
But one person who’s had enough of all this legal nonsense is Samantha Geimer, the woman who Roman Polanski is alleged to have had sex with. She’s decided to ask for the charges against Polanski to be dropped so she can get on with her life. BBC News reports:
Samantha Geimer said the continued publication of details “causes harm to me, my husband and children”. Ms Geimer, 45, said in her written declaration to the court: “If Polanski cannot stand before the court to make this request, I, as the victim, can and I, as the victim do… I have urged that this matter come to a formal legal end. I have urged that the district attorney and the court dismiss these charges,” she added.
You know that you’re onto a good thing, don’t you, when even the girl you were accused of raping 30 years ago wants your charges dropped. It’s unknown whether or not Samantha Geimer’s request will be heeded by the courts, but we’re sure that Roman Polanski will be grateful for her efforts nonetheless.
Maybe with her help, Roman Polanski can shake off his tag of ‘alleged child-rapist’ and live freely with his new tag of ‘man who merely admitted having sex with a child although that’s been neither proven nor disproven.’ It almost brings a tear to the eye, doesn’t it?

I had sex with a 13-year-old; unfortunately it was myself.
