So children of rape by adults should only be protected / the rapists should only be punished if the child says anything / complains? Riiiight!45 years later? And she never said anything? Riiiight!
1. 'Was not a threat of doing it again'
....except they were WRONG, as it turns out the raping of the child was not a 1-time thing, apparently, as 4 women total now have come forward to claim he raped them. (Who knows how many more women were spared the same fate by his fleeing the country - we'll never know.)
2. 'He was then FORCED to leave the country'
For God's sake stop trying to paint him as a 'victim'. He CHOSE to flee the country. We have a judicial process that would have allowed him to fight the judge's decision. (The judge was smart enough, BTW, to decide the punishment for raping a child should be more than 42 days in jail.) Hell, OJ's attorney got him off with potentially sawing the heads off of his wife and a guy who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Surely he could have found one to defend him against unfair legal punishment for 'only' raping a child.)

(That's some sick liberal logic, right there. Keep 'justifying' / defending the child rapist, snowflakes!)
Here's the issue, I think what he did is absolutely wrong, however if people are outraged they need to change the laws so there is no statute of limitations on crimes like child rape, just like there isn't on murder.

I think what he did was wrong, but just not that big of a deal. sorry, this was a girl who was already into drugs and sex and banging celebrities. She admits this herself every time a news crew shows up on her lawn whenever Polanski is back in the news.

Um, yeah, because there are no women in other countries...
We shouldn't make excuses for child rape. That would be no different than saying it's ok to rape a woman that has slept with hundreds of different men because she is a slut. There is a reason for age of consent, it's because as a society we don't think they can make well-informed decisions.

But real world, we do exactly that. We take the totality of the case into account. That's why we have juries. That's why we have prosecutors who make plea bargains.
The thing was, Polanski admitted what he did and agreed to a punishment. Then someone decided, they wanted to punish him more than was agreed to.

Some of us do that... but it doesn't make it right. Victim blaming is very real, and VERY wrong.

Maybe the "victim" deserves blame sometimes.
This was a promiscuous 13 year old girl who was on the wrong track in her life. Even she admits this. Even she admit that the state has gone a little nutty still going after Polanski after all this time.
ANd I don't even like Polanski all that much. I think his movies are shit. I mean, holy fucking crap, you spend two hours watching a movie called "Rosemary's Baby" and you don't even get to see the fucking baby.
"Oh, she's only 13, but she's on drugs and is messed up, so it's okay if I fuck her." That is some demented thought process.
Come on man... I've read a lot of your posts, and despite you having a Liberal lean I agree with a lot of them, and there is no way you can actually be a victim blamer.

Did the guys who fucked her previously get arrested? Or how about the guys who fucked her between the ages of 13-18?
Or do we just go after the one who is a celebrity? Because the one thing we enjoy more than building celebrities up in this country is tearing them down.
He admitted to what he did and he went to jail. Wanting to punish him beyond that because you don't like his politics seems a bit... harsh.

I'm just not working up a lot of sympathy for this golddigger and her mother. The whole thing kind of stunk of a setup.
I really don't think this is about being a celebrity. It's more about the fact he was her boss and used it to his advantage.
Careful with the use of the word 'WE', Joe. 'WE' don't make excuses for child rape. As this thread has shown, LIBERALS make excuses for child rape. And there is a difference between claiming one's innocence of charges, requiring a jury trial, and making excuses for child rape. This POS did not declare his innocence - he admitted to raping a child.But real world, we do exactly that.We shouldn't make excuses for child rape.
