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.
13 is usually around the age that women start menstruating. And the age around which many would get married to a much older man who had already lost his first wife in childbirth, if statistics are to be included in the analysis. Honestly, the female in question has forgiven Polanski. Enough. And 13 is not that far removed from the legal age of consent in France - 15. In most of Europe the legal age of consent is 14 to 16.
The victim has forgiven him. So should the people. So should the state.
Who gives a fuck what the age of consent is in France or Europe? He raped her in the US.
Nice to see you're as backward and warped as you've always been.
