It seems that not even the #MeToo movement has derailed Roman Polanski’s chances of achieving accolades despite his status as a fugitive of justice after admitting to the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl and then fleeing to Europe in the late-70s.
“Roman Polanski has won the Grand Jury Prize for ‘An Officer and a Spy,’ despite controversy over the director’s inclusion at Venice Film Festival,” reports The Independent. “The film has received positive reviews but also controversy regarding Polanski, who was convicted of statutory rape in 1978 and has faced other allegations of sexual assault.”
