Country%20Flag%20Switzerland.jpgIt was reported by the Associated Press that Roman Polanski will be placed under house arrest pending the decision of the Swiss Justice Ministry to extradite Mr. Polanski back to Los Angeles, California to face criminal charges for the rape of a 13 year old girl. Many child safety advocates and others question why Roman Polanski is getting such preferential treatment for the crimes that he committed. It is also baffling because Roman Polanski skipped out on serving his prison sentence in California so many years ago. The passage of time does not lessen the severity of the crime or the need to punish the criminal for his wrongdoing.

School bus drivers and teachers have a duty to provide for the education and safety of children. When a person takes a job of such importance and responsibility, it is vital that the person is mature, ethical, and has common sense. The purpose of these supervisory jobs is to watch or care for children not date them. In various States including Georgia, there have been reports of teachers and other school employees have inappropriate relationships / sexual relationships with students. In Georgia, the age of consent for sexual intercourse is 16 years old; however, there are exceptions to the law if an adult has a supervisory position like a teacher or bus driver over the student. In Union County, Georgia, Jacqueline Connally, age 22, was recently arrested for having an alleged inappropriate relationship with a student according to a story posted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution Newspaper website. At the time of the incident(s), the student was 16 years old. Another student had reported the relationship to authorities. The news story did not report what evidence other than this testimony would be presented to support the charges. In other cases throughout the nation, valuable evidence was presented after obtaining records from mobile phones an Internet Service Providers as well as from sites like Facebook. There are often times an electronic trail of evidence to support these crimes / inappropriate relationships. Teachers and other school district employees should focus on their jobs and date or avoid inappropriate relationships or the appearance of inappropriate relationships with students.

The Roman Polanski case has brought out comments and opinions from politicians, public figures, movie industry executives, and celebrities including but not limited to Howard Stern. Many people find Howard Stern to be controversial. Some find him to be rude. What many do not know about Howard Stern is that there is often times a serious side or serious message to his satellite radio show played on Sirius Satellite Radio. Some times in life, it is important to pay more attention to the message rather than the messenger. Howard Stern and his on-air colleagues at Sirius were on the right mark with Roman Polanski. Rather than focus on Polanski’s life achievements, work, and talent as a director, Howard Stern focused on the crime itself. The bottom line is that Roman Polanksi raped a 13 year old girl. The crime, whether it happened yesterday or 30 years ago, warrants a prison sentence in the State of California and some justice. You can listen to Howard Stern’s comments at Howard Stern Discusses Roman Polanski Arrest. Whether you like Howard Stern or not, he happens to be right when it comes to the Roman Polanski arrest and extradition proceedings.

Court%20Supreme%20Court%20of%20the%20United%20States.jpg

The Roman Catholic Diocese in Bridgeport, Connecticut sought to block the release of documents related to a number of sexual abuse / molestation cases previously brought against the church. The documents related to lawsuits that were settled by the church in the past. Newspapers had previously sought to obtain access / release to more than 12000 pages of documents from 23 lawsuits that were filed based on the alleged actions of six priests. The records have been sealed since the cases were settled in 2001. The release of these documents may help publicized prior bad acts of priests and may, in turn, encourage other victims to step forward.

The arrest of Roman Polanski recently in Switzerland has resulted in comments and opinions from famous people around the world including Whoopi Goldberg. A recent article posted at the Politics Daily website noted the comments of Ms. Goldberg and others. The author of the article, Domenica Machetti, rightly pointed out crimes were committed by Mr. Polanski that are unfairly being trivialized or excused by celebrities and other famous / powerful people. In considering this story, it appears that many people are defending Mr. Polanski since he is a famous and talented person. But really, can his actions be defended at all? It has been reported that Mr. Polanski gave drugs and alcohol to a thirteen year old girl and then proceeded to rape or have sex including anal sex (sodomy) and oral sex. If Mr. Polanski was an unknown school teacher who committed these crimes in the 1970s, would any celebrities be coming out for his defense? If there was a video tape showing Mr. Polanski raping this young girl, would Whoopi Goldberg still comment that rape is not really rape? You can praise Mr. Polanski all you want for his movies and career in the movie industry. However, do not defend a child rapist. As pointed out by Domenica Marchetti in her article, Mr. Polanski “needs to be brought back to faxe the consequences of his despicable actions.”
