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.
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.

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.
he is guilty of statutory rape, but should not go to prison because the the girl in qestion wants the case dropped and it happened nearly three decades ago.

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?
he is too much of a good director to go to jail and too old, people have done much worse things and got away with it
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.

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.
