Is Roman Polanski cancelled?*

In 1977 Roman Polanski was arrested in for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl in Los Angeles. He agreed to plea bargain for a lesser charge of statutory rape, though fled the United States hours before his sentencing. He holds French and Polish citizenship, and has avoided extradition to the United States in the years since his conviction.

Polanski went on to continue his decades-long career as a filmmaker, winning several Oscars, BAFTA awards, and Golden Globe awards.

In 2023 Polanski was sued by another woman for allegedly raping her in 1973 when she was a minor. A trial is set for 2025.
