They finally got their man...

Oscar-winning film director Roman Polanski was finally arrested over the weekend in Switzerland. Polanski admitted to having sexual relations with a thirteen-year old girl back in 1977 but he fled the country before his case made it to court. The arrest may pave the way for his extradition back to the United States to face sexual assault charges. He’s 76 years old and some say (including the victim) leave the man alone; it’s all water under the bridge. But others feel he should he have to face the music. We’ll examine the legal issues of the case, the psychology impacts of sexual abuse and the media’s coverage and portrayal of Polanski.
