But she says that in the 1970s, when the crime occurred, society viewed sex and drugs in a different light.
Actress Emmanuelle Seigner says her husband - who pleaded guilty to sex with an American minor, then fled to France - is a "marvelous" man. She described to Elle magazine appearing on Friday her feelings after the 76-year-old Polanski was jailed in Switzerland for more than 60 days.
He was transferred December 4 to house arrest in the Swiss resort of Gstaad.
Seigner said she feels she's "falling into a well ... and this long fall won't stop."
