I don't like witch-hunts or polarising arguments in terms of evil etc.. but Polanski did something that deserves a sentence. The only reason he's not in prison is because he's famous, rich and talented.
The way much of the media is dealing with this is ridiculous. I reckon the only difference between Polanski and Gary Glitter is talent. But how can talent be an excuse?
I'd like to think that most humans would agree that - morally - money shouldn't be used to unfairly influence due legal process, but in this case it almost seems like his talent is being used as a commodity to garner support.
And what the fck is it with the 'it happened so long ago' argument. In the case of other major crimes this argument wouldn't cut it.
Giving a 13 year old pills and alcohol constitutes abuse. Sex with 13 year old constitutes very serious abuse. But this guy raped a 13 year old - it doesn't get much worse.
