Does a ga zillion years make a difference?
“But in March 1977, Polanski, then aged 44, made the fateful mistake that hangs on him to this day. He had been commissioned by Vogue Hommes to take a series of photographs of adolescent girls: he wanted to show them, he says in Roman, as “sexy, pert, and thoroughly human”. Polanski was introduced to a 13-year-old named Samantha Gailey, and they met to shoot some photos outdoors . They met again on 10 March for some indoor shots, and ended up at the Mulholland Drive house of Polanski’s friend Jack Nicholson, who was away”
Champagne was drunk, though accounts vary as to how much; Gailey claimed that Polanski gave her a Quaalude, the modish prescription drug of the time; they both ended up undressed in the Jacuzzi. Sex followed, but exactly under what circumstances only the two of them know for sure. Polanski expressed it tersely in his book: “She wasn’t unresponsive.”
You’ve got to be kidding. She was 13 years old.
A man who obviously has never actually understood that what he did was wrong.
I mean he only drugged a 13 year old, raped her, then got a sweet plea deal, dismissing all but the lesser charge. Some silly judge messed up by not holding to the plea deal. Polanski fled to Europe, where he graduated to 15 year olds.
This ought to be good.
A comments off brain fart.
