I have read, with great interest, of the arrest of Roman Polanski in Switzerland this week. Roman Polanski, for those who don't know, is a famous director, Academy Award winner and former husband of Sharon Tate, who was savagely murdered by the Charles Manson gang. He is also the son of Holocaust survivors.

He is also a rapist.

More precisely, a rapist of a 13 year old girl. Sodomy, rape, oral sex ... all forced on a 13 year old girl. A rapist who fled the United States of America for France when it became apparent he would be (shock! awe!) punished for his crime. Which he committed. Which he admitted to.

Instead, he fled the country and has now been arrested in Switzerland, who doesn't offer the same blind eye to justice that France has for over forty years.

This is not to say that Switzerland is the end-all, be-all of justice, of course, just think of those millions of numbered bank accounts outside of many countries' jurisdictions. This is to say, in this instance, Switzerland got it right.

I do not care who you are. I do not care of your wealth. I do not care of your "genius." I do not care of your "loss" of your place here in America nor of your inability to receive your Oscar in person. Nor do I care that your victim has asked you not to be punished. You admitted guilt, you should receive your punishment.

I care about justice.

Roman Polanski -- accept justice. Accept your punishment. Atone for your decades-old sin.
