On Thursday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences finally expelled the child-rapist Roman Polanski from their midst along with actor Bill Cosby, who was convicted by a jury of criminal sexual conduct earlier this week.
Polanski pleaded guilty to raping and sodomizing a 13-year-old girl in 1977 before fleeing the country to escape justice. His expulsion from the Academy comes four decades too late and only after winning a Best Director Oscar in 2003 for “The Pianist.”
In a statement issued Thursday, the Academy said of its decision, “The Board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy’s values of respect for human dignity.”
