Admitted Child Rapist Roman Polanski Suing Academy For Kicking Him Out

In May of last year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences finally expelled Roman Polanski from their midst. Nearly one year later, he has filed a lawsuit alleging that the Academy had failed to follow its own rules when ousting a member from their ranks, according to Deadline.

“The Academy committed a prejudicial abuse of discretion in that the Academy failed to proceed in a manner required by law, the Academy’s expulsion decision is not supported by the findings, and the Academy’s findings are not supported by the evidence,” Polanski said in a lawsuit filed in L.A. Superior Court.
