There is a word which describes the famous film director

I really don't know enough about this to actually have an opinion. But I thought the piece was an interesting one, as it discusses not only a French tendency to let artists have special rules, but also other aspects which make that easy dismissal of the objections seem oversimplifying.
The word is pedophile, or to be pedantic, paedophile.
He feeds drugs and alcohol to a thirteen year old girl, then manfully rapes her.
If I had been the girls father, I would have castrated him with a chainsaw. On film, of course. I think Robert Altman could have directed.
I now have a thirteen year old grand-daughter. 'Nuff said?
