8. Roman Polanski
This sexual crime allegation took place way back in 1977, but it was still a shock to the public. Roman Polanski, the famed film director, was arrested by authorities and charged in a court trial after being slammed with 5 criminal charges against his victim, Samantha Gailey. Perhaps the worst part of all was that Gailey was just 13 years old. Polanski reportedly drugged Gailey and then engaged in crimes such as rape, perversion, sodomy, and lewd and lascivious acts. Initially, the director pleaded not guilty to the accusations, but then he eventually ended up accepting a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty plea to lesser charges.
