Noted child-rapist "overwhelmed" by messages of support

“I have been overwhelmed by the number of messages of support and sympathy I have received in Winterthur prison, and that I continue to receive here, in my chalet in Gstaad, where I am spending the holidays with my wife and my children,” Polanski wrote.

“These messages have come from my neighbours, from people all over Switzerland, and from beyond Switzerland – from across the world.”
