Where's the Outrage Regarding Roman Polanski's Rape?

Reader Comments

A nine year old is a CHILD. I know she was thirteen at the time of the Polanski incident, but I would bet good money that any nine year old who has sex with boys has been molested prior, by an adult. Holding that up as an example of her promiscuousness is offensive, to the say the least.

Perhaps one should go over and read this thoroughly researched article here:

http://novalislore.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/roman-polanski-he-said-she-said-they-said/

I'd like to ask where all the indignation is over the fact that the mother allowed the 'victim' to ingest Quaaludes and champaigne when she was nine. Futher and according to the 'victim's' own statements, she'd had sex with two boys when she was also nine. Not to mention that the judge involved, was known to be on the take from a lawyer who worked for both Al Capone and Frank Nitti.

Further, there was no medical or forensic evidence to back up the rape claim and the 'victim' herself today says, "It wasn't rape." She has also stated: "He didn't hurt me." And let's not forget this one, "No one else other than me ever came forward to accuse him of anything. I think he knows what he did was wrong, but it's time to let it go." Ms. Geimer has also filed two briefs with the court asking for this case to be dropped as well as clemency from Governor Schwarzenegger. So truly, how really much can anyone be indignant about something even the 'victim' says is none of your business. She wants you all to shut up, her words.

A lot of those screaming in defense of Roman Polanski are celebrity actors and they know the law of Moses. That is like catholics who are for abortion. Something totally out of sync!

To all you people out there who assume that supporters out there are liberal and feminists:

I am a liberal and I am also a feminist.

I do NOT support Roman Polanski.

He is a rapist and shoudl be dealt with as such.

Do do not jump to illogical conclusions.

A 44 year old pervert, drugs and then anally rapes a 13 year old girl despite her protests and the liberals say to let him be. What is most disturbing is the fact that the feminist groups have turned their backs on this young girl. That is why America mocks the liberals in this country.

Hey "bo", Charles Manson is 75, should we let him go next year when he turns 76? It's not age that's the issue, it's the offense. A "spectacle" would come about because of his celebrity, and his celebrity is the reason you excuse his crime. Prisons are full of child molesters who are not famous celebrities. Does fame excuse evil?

The girl was 13. It doesn't matter whether it was consentual or even if her stupid mother acted as a pimp by delivering her to him. The girl was a victim because of her age. Should we rewrite laws to give immunity to movie stars? Should we excuse criminals who run and hide?

If the judge acted improperly, does that erase the damage? You Polanski supporters miss the point: There are laws, he broke them and has gone unpunished. Yes, he had a terrible childhood...yes his wife was murdered. Many child molesters were victims as children themselves. Does that give them license to hurt other people? Should even concentration camp survivors be given the "right" to hurt innocent people because of their suffering?

Wake up! If you were being raped, would you be thinking about your abuser's celebrity or background? Laws are in place to protect people from hostile acts, no matter who the criminal might be.

To Bo, shut up!!!! I was a rape victim and I would hate that

because an abuse victim gets paid and forgives this swine that

we should say forgive and forget. I am totally outraged by all this

and the message Hollywood is sending. No one should run from

the law and think it is OK. I could not beleave that he also had

relations with a 15 year old in Paris while he's wanted for rape

on a 13 year old CHILD (not young woman) a child.

My god people wake up.
