He was already convicted and fled due to the judge reneging on the sentence agreement from the plea bargain. I think some in Hollywood felt sympathy for him for the death of his pregnant wife Sharon Tate at the hands of Manson.

No one ever mentions that Roman has a daughter. How would he feel if his pre-teen was forced to have anal sex with an old guy?

This guy is a sick rapist. I am sickened by the loser Hollywood people who rally around him or work on his films. Fame breeds some sick wack jobs- they will overlook felonious behavior when it might result in a paycheck.

While I do believe that this is probably true, having gloria allred as her Lawyer just lessens her credibility.

Watching the Hollywood elite stand up for this pedophile made me respect them even less. Bye, Roman, you're chickens have come home to roost.

Whats really unbelievable is that I read somewhere that his victim (now very much an adult) has publicly said she just wants it all to go away. Everytime they rehash this story it's got to cut her like a knife...
