Even if her mother pushed her into going with Polanski, it doesn't change the fact that HE raped her. Makes her a miserable mother though... I just hope he goes to jail. He's been free for too long already.

Jackson was as innocent as OJ.

Whether Polanski is a paedophile or not is a point of pedantry to be decided by the OED's definition of the word. He raped a child and deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail.


True, but not likely yo happen. :yep:

What a comparison to make... OJ was proven to be liable for his wife and her bf's death in a private settlement a few years ago where it was basically admitted, he ended up paying Nicole Brown's family millions and the right to write the famous book '(If)I did it'

Do not want to speak ill of him, but I really doubt everything I hear about the alleged paedophilia surrounding Jackson, both kids who made the allegations came from crackpot families that tried to extort money and gave unreliable evidence. I think he had an unusual relationship with kids, but I doubt he ever did anything more than treat the kids as his own; in a 'make yourself at home' kind of perspective.

It's not up to her, and how would it be relevant how long ago it happened? Would you be saying the same if it had been someone else?

Oh okay. So what is the absolute worst thing he could get away with before you start condemning him? Child rape is pretty indefensibly to start with, but there must be something which being "a good director" and "old" doesn't negate.

This is where Europeans differ from Americans.

You guys are too liberal. Sex, drugs are fine for the most part.

Sex and drugs are fine, rape is not.

Rape is involuntary sex, but still just sex. :confused:

So when you say Europeans are too liberal about sex, are you saying that means we tolerate rape? Because being liberal about consensual sex is completely different from being liberal about rape, in one case no on is hurt and in the other people are hurt badly.

Yes but having sex with 12-year-olds is illegal all over Europe (except in Vatican City but shh). We don't actually tolerate it, it's just a novel.
