I don't know exactly what happened. It is, however, well documented that Polanski did not get anything close to a fair trial. The assistant DA on the case has been an outspoken critic of the presiding judge, as has the victim.

Research this case a little more. Maybe start with the documentary that came out a year or two back. From what I remember, the consensus of opinion was that this girl was a drugged out party girl who everyone knew and had slept with half of Hollywood and routinely lied about her age. I think her Dad found out about her hard partying and confronted her at which point she framed things to make herself look more like a victim. Dad went to the police with the Polanski story and a fame-hungry judge saw his shot at the spotlight, got the case transferred to him and began holding witch-hunt press conferences. I believe the girl (as an adult) is on record as absolving Polanski of any wrong doing. Yes adults are supposed to take care of kids because kids sometimes cannot take care of themselves and yes, i know your dogmatic tone is partially for effect but things are rarely as simple as you're making it out to be and this is the second or third time these rants have undermined the rest of the stuff you and everyone else is doing here at Animal.
