In fact, in one case, Frito Lay was successfully sued by singer Tom Waits for using a singer who simply SOUNDED like him for a commercial.

"AAI's unlawful use of Allen's image for commercial advertising purposes is especially egregious and damaging because Allen does not commercially endorse any products in the Unites States of America."

Mel Gibson was right!

(Roman Polanski is) one of Jim Jackson's favorite pedophiles!

Indictment on charge of rape and other sex offenses
In 1977, Polanski, 44, became embroiled in a scandal involving 13-year-old Samantha Geimer (then known as Samantha Gailey). It ultimately led to Polanski's guilty plea to the charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.[7]

According to Geimer, Polanski asked Geimer's mother if he could photograph the girl for the French edition of Vogue, which Polanski had been invited to guest-edit. Her mother allowed a private photo shoot. According to Geimer in a 2003 interview, "Everything was going fine; then he asked me to change, well, in front of him." She added, "It didn't feel right, and I didn't want to go back to the second shoot."

Geimer later agreed to a second session, which took place on March 10, 1977, at the Mulholland area home of actor Jack Nicholson in Los Angeles. "We did photos with me drinking champagne," Geimer says. "Toward the end it got a little scary, and I realized he had other intentions and I knew I was not where I should be. I just didn't quite know how to get myself out of there." Geimer alleged that Polanski sexually assaulted her after giving her a combination of champagne and quaaludes. In the 2003 interview, Geimer says she resisted. "I said no several times, and then, well, gave up on that," she says.[8]

Polanski was initially charged[9] with rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance (methaqualone) to a minor, but these charges were dismissed under the terms of his plea bargain, and he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.[10]

In his autobiography, Roman by Polanski, Polanski alleged that Geimer's mother had set up her daughter as part of a casting couch and blackmail scheme against him.

In 2008, a documentary film of the aftermath of the incident, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.


[edit] A fugitive
Before sentencing, Polanski was tipped off that the judge was going to disregard the plea bargain, in which case he would likely have faced a 50-year prison sentence. On February 1, 1978, Polanski fled to London, where he maintained residency. A day later he traveled on to France, where he held citizenship, in order to avoid extradition to the U.S. by Britain. Consistent with its extradition treaty with the United States, France refuses to extradite its own citizens. As a consequence, an extradition request later filed by U.S. officials was denied. The United States government could have requested that Polanski be prosecuted on the California charges by the French authorities,[11] but this option has not been pursued.

Polanski has never returned to Britain, and later sold his home in absentia.

The United States could still request the arrest and extradition of Polanski from other countries should he visit them. As a consequence, Polanski has avoided visits to countries that are likely to extradite him and mostly travels between France and Poland.

In a 2003 interview,[12] Samantha Geimer said, "Straight up, what he did to me was wrong. But I wish he would return to America so the whole ordeal can be put to rest for both of us." Furthermore, "I'm sure if he could go back, he wouldn't do it again. He made a terrible mistake but he's paid for it".

Polanski cannot return to the United States since the events of 1977-78, but he made it clear in his autobiography[13] that he never permanently resided in the USA. At the time of his 1977 arrest, he lived in London and was visiting Los Angeles. The arrest actually took place in the lobby of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where he was staying. Up to that time, he had directed nine films, but only two (Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown) were shot in the U.S.

In his autobiography, Roman by Polanski, Polanski alleged that Geimer's mother had set up her daughter as part of a casting couch and blackmail scheme against him.

"Bitch set me up" isn't REALLY a great defense in a child rape charge. Even if what Polanski alleges were true, he still knowingly raped a thirteen year old girl, albeit with her mother's knowledge. That doesn't exonerate him, it only makes the mom an accomplice.

but in his defense he never got to rape the child that the manson family killed. maybe the trauma affected him deeply and then he just had to express his desire to rape a child in the only way he could, by raping a child.
no jury would convict him.

At least he didnt Raype a child!
That would be beyond acceptable!
