Johnny Depp defends Roman Polanski
Johnny Depp has come to the defense of Roman Polanski as he faces extradition to the U.S. on child sex charges – insisting the embattled director is “not a predator”.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977, but fled the States before his sentence could be passed.
He was arrested in Zurich last year and placed under house arrest in Switzerland. Last month, a Los Angeles judge ruled he must return to the U.S. to face sentencing.
But Depp, who collaborated with the 76 year old on 1999 thriller The Ninth Gate, insists U.S. prosecutors should take Polanski’s current home life into consideration and let the 32-year-old charges go.
Defending his former boss’ character, Depp explains: “Roman is not a predator. He’s 75 or 76 years old. He has got two beautiful kids, he has got a wife that he has been with for a long, long time. He is not out on the street.”

Finally, a chink in the armor that is Depp. He digs the pederasts. Raping a 13 year old girl is wrong, unless you give people 30 years to get over it, then it’s A-OK! Encouraging words. Just don’t get caught and make some movies in Europe, and you will be as right as rain.

I agree with meazy. Having sex with a 13 year old is rape…it is not okay. I don’t understand how anyone can say he shouldn’t be punished.

Wonder if he would defend him if it was someone close to him. Retard!

Wow. Wonder if he’d let the old perv baby sit his kids. Someone needs to read the original transcript from the first trial. That child was drugged, raped and sodomized.

So according to Depp, rape is ok as long as afterwards you find a wife who is crazy enough to stay with you have children with you. Oh okay. Sure.

I’m with Jonny on this one. There should be different rules for celebrities and Hollywood big wigs. I mean come on. The girl who was raped and sodomized by Polanski as a teen wasn’t even famous. Who cares about her, I mean OK if it was Johnny Depp’s daughter than maybe you could prosecute him for it but a nobody, geesh. Since when should the common people expect the same protection from predators as the Hollywood elite.

Worse than being out on the streets, he’s still making movies.
He may not be a predator but he is a rapist and probably had his wife killed because she was into the Illuminati arm of witchcraft that many Hollywood actresses belong to as signified by their black nail polish and jewelry. Sharon Tate wanted out of witchcraft and told Polanski she wanted out. He left the country while she was killed by the leaders of the Illuminati (not Charles Manson). Glutz may have been a Jewish witchcraft practitioner who was asked by Polannksi’s associates to kill Sharon Tate. Manson barely knew Glutz. Glutz and her friends picked up on Manson. He did not approach her. She went after him because he was a good musician.
Illuminati control the government and courts so it’s no wonder that Illuminati have already taken 10% of Michael Jackson’s estate after he was murdered and that Polanski has probably committed many horrendous crimes but is still making films and floating above the law while others seeking justice are denied justice. Illuminati are called untouchable because they do horrible crimes yet are never jailed. Their lives only improve when they do a crime. They move up the Illuminati ladder faster when they do a crime. Crime always pays for people belonging to the Illuminti cult. Except those who want out – you’re murdered if you want out because you know to much.

Wow! What a disgrace Johnny Depp really is – his true colors are heinous. He has no soul. Sell-out. What a coward and a fool. I will never support him again! Pathetic fool! What if this had happened to his own daughter??
