He was arrested, charged and pled guilty to the charge with some sort of wink-wink "understanding" that he'd get a slap on the wrist.

When it came time for the actual sentencing, the judge sentenced him to a long prison term. It was after the sentencing that he fled the country.

So there's no question about Polanski's guilt - that was settled by his voluntary guilty plea.
