Johnny Depp is the latest celebrity speaking out in defense of convicted child predator Roman Polanski. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Polanski admitted to indulging in unlawful sex with a 13-year-old model he drugged in 1977. The actor fled the country before his sentencing and remained on the run — making movies — until he was arrested over the decades old statutory rape charge in Switzerland last September. He is currently fighting extradition to the US. Depp worked with the 76-year-old lensman on the 1999 film The Ninth Gate<\/em> and believes there is more to the case than meets the eye.

Maybe there was a little money involved, but why now?<\/em>\u201d Johnny said in an interview with Britain’s The Independent<\/em> over the weekend. \u201cRoman is not a predator. He\u2019s 75 or 76 years old. He has got two beautiful kids, he has got a wife that he has been with for a long long time. He is not out on the street,”<\/em> the actor added.<\/p>\n

Shame on the celebs who continue to make excuses for this child molester and his stomach-turning assault on that young woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
