The dance called the Polanski continues, as the slippery film genius Mr. Roman Polanski dances, tries to avoid justice --or is it punishment that he is trying to elude? It's been thirty three years. The child whom he had sex with is a fully grown middle age adult, and she says: Let bygones be bygones. Authorities in California are saying no -- that it isn't her call to make. The law is to protect children from predators, famous ones too, so California won't do the Polanski dance, and give a self-confessed child sexual abuser a pass. Oh, wait, a second, the certifiable film genius, Mr. Polanski, didn't plea to child sex abuse, but to carnal knowledge with a minor. Ah, but that is the Polanski dance. Any sex with a minor is child rape, since the child can not legally give her consent -- that is the rule.
Yesterday, the California Court of Appeals refused to do the Polanski dance. Mr. Polanski wants the legal proceedings against him ended, the Court summarily denied what he wants.
