Polanski Case rant

The Polanski rape case is interesting to me. Why? He's a famous director, his wife Sharon Tate was murdered by Charles Manson's "family," convicted felon and yet he is still honored and financed by the movie industry.

I don't care how much time has pasted, he was convicted of a terrible crime and fled the USA because he didn't want to do his time in prison. Everything would have been in the past if he would have just stayed and done his time.

Boo effin' ho.

That's an admission of guilt, right there. It pisses me off because his supporters do not realize that what he did was WRONG and is STILL WRONG!

I don't care how old the girl was (13) or that her parents allowed her to visit with him. He was in a position of trust and he used it against her.

I also understand why the girl (now woman) doesn't want anything to do with the case, she is grown and just wants to get on with her life. (As many rape victims do!). I applaud the activists who are working for justice, not only for her but countless young women.

Here is the quote from Polanski's NEW wife that started my triad.

PARIS (AFP) – Filmmaker Roman Polanski's wife defended him in a rare interview published Thursday, saying the 1970s, when he was convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old girl, was a "crazy" age of sexual permissiveness.

Does anyone else feel sick and disgusted?
