For the past week, Polanksi, 76, had been working on meeting his lofty, $4.5 million bail. Swiss authorities, to that point, had denied his requests under the rationale the director was too big a flight risk. Under house arrest, Polanski will be fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet, have all of his phone calls monitored, and be restricted from leaving his home, while Swiss officials decide whether or not to extradite him to the United States, where the he has been a fugitive the past 31 years.

Polanski pleaded guilty in 1977 to a single count of unlawful sex with a minor. He admitted to having given Champagne and a Quaalude to a then-13-year-old girl -- who he'd taken to his pal Jack Nicholson's house for a photo shoot -- before having sex with her. Out on bond after his plea, Polanski fled the country before he was sentenced. The arrest warrant against him was issued in 1978.

His wife must be another piece of work to marry him and have children with him. Didn't it ever cross her mind that he might do something to his own daughter...just a sick pervert to do that to a child!

It's a bunch of crap that money can buy HIM freedom especially after he plead guilty to the crime! I can imagine how horrible and discussed his kids must feel knowing that your father did that to another child.
