Would an innocent person want a delay, or would they want their innocense proven as quickly as possible?
Money grab.
Well, if he is diabetic he has to be taken Metformin and he can go to trail. What type of diabetes does he have? 😬
You can't try to dodge justice because you're elderly and unhealthy, for goodness sake.
What a coward.
State of his victims health didn't matter to him did it
Has a background investigation determined if they were dressin' sexy?
Sounds to me like delaying tactics.😂
He has a long history of "relationships" since he was in the Sorbonne.
How is that they are always too "sick" to go to court?
Predators are always cowards
Coward!
So his defense attorney is trying to delay the trial but simultaneously argue his case?
Aw, sunshine, you don't get to have both.
Shameful judiciary system protecting a pig sexual predator celebrity
I am not going to lie; I believe him when he says he has deferred diabetes treatment
The green shuuters
One more previously powerful untouchable man going down after losing influence.
I remember the interview that destroyed his “American” film career. When he admitted to a youthful hobby of R8p and assault.
He only has to sit in court… can’t be that sick.
France is finally taking action against these worms. A glutenous insect wants to delay, until when, it reduces it's weight? Is Polanski next on the Court schedule?
It’s an endless parade of predators it seems. Tedious and depressing. Nothing surprises, though, sadly.
I hope he's finally punished. He's been getting away with his crimes for too long.
I thought he was a Russian citizen?
Awful correspondant!!
He's got a lot of nerve criticising someone else's photos.
Surely he owns a mirror.
Criminals should not get special treatment, maybe force him to be there with camera at home
Riche people pay well they doctors , he is guilty as hell
Groping? Seriously, groping? They want to drag an elderly, sick man through a trial for groping? Following right after that other travesty, I have to wonder what the French government is up to. It seems as if they want to divert the public's attention for some reason.
I thought he died years ago.
I'm very suspicious of all these so called sex abuse by young women against old rich men …
