Hm – it wàs thirty years ago, wasn’t it?

And it’s not as if Polanski came away scotfree, if I remember correctly..

Besides, I’m afraid really there was more to this case: Polanski himself was a young man, pedofilia was nowhere near as categorically considered a crime; we should remember that those were the days pedofiles were trying to hitchhike the waves of homosexual emancipation. Further more: even rape was not seen as it is today: women had to go through a lot of heartache and shame in such a compalint, and they had to prove that their reputation was unblemished enough for judges and juries to conclude an un-consential sexual act really took place against her will.
Another thing is the very strange message the girl’s mother must have sent in the eyes of the participants..: what mother allows her 13 year old daughter to model in the nude for a young man, unsupervised and in an atmosphere of sex, drugs and rock & roll?
One who hoped to land a part in one of his movies perhaps? Or one who thought she’d be offered a nice sum of money, to make the thing go away?

What you are overlooking, is that Whoopie has a daughter. Someone should ask her what she would do if someone had lured her 13 year old daughter into a house, drugged her, and raped her. What would she have done?

That’s the question. If she says, she would have not considered it rape, then it’s a sign that she has a mental disorder.

Just more death of feminism, and death of decency too.

And they already have her testimony from the 1970s. So that’s not an issue, either.

She will not be asked to testify because the rapist has already agreed to a plea bargain and has already been convicted.
He escaped before sentence was passed.
Sentence will simply be passed based on the plea bargain.
But he will likely face an additional charge for fleeing after his conviction. This has nothing to do with the victim either so again she will not have to testify.

“Gee, if only all those Catholic priests had thought to go to film school instead.”
