Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm not proud to admit that back a few years ago when the whole case blew up a bit, I heard about it from someone who I trusted, but who was misinformed, and who then misinformed me in turn.

The way I heard it, the girl was fourteen but was an active, working prostitute who looked much older and went to the party specifically for the purpose of having sex with Polanski. Polanski had sex with her, which was very wrong because her age made he unable to consent, but she was, by all appearances, a willing and active participant the whole time. It was only the law, years later, which decided to charge Polanski for statutory rape. Also, Polanski was super fucked up at the time because his wife and child had been killed, which didn't make what he did okay, but the fact that he may have been out of his mind with grief did factor into the situation in a general way.

Because this was the account of things that I'd heard, there was a while there where if someone had asked me to sign a petition I might have, depending on what exactly the petition was trying to accomplish. If it was a petition to absolve him of all guilt, I wouldn't have. But if it was a petition to place him on long-term probation, sentence him to ongoing psychiatric sessions, and award his victim some kind of settlement - but dismiss the possibility of incarceration - I probably would've.
