Gotcha

Well, it took 31 years.

Roman Polanski, wanted on an outstanding 1978 statutory rape charge, has consistently dodged American authorities by limiting his travel to countries that deny extradition to the US. He always insisted he was innocent—the 13 year old girl in question with he clever wiles is the one to blame, not him, you see—but enjoyed mocking our legal system by keeping one toe attached to glue while stretching out his tag hand.

Who knew Switzerland extradites to the US? Polanski didn’t. Arriving in Zurich to accept a restrospective lifetime award, the dumbass got nailed at the airport on arrival.

Ha! No one is sure what sort of trial he will receive after all this time (locating the victim may be easy or tough...who knows!), but he can enjoy some jail time experiencing life as a 13-year-old girl at one of his own photo shoots. Then we shall see what, um, position he takes on the issue.
