Yep, Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, Frantic, A Pure Formality — talk about crappy movies!!

"May not have been" is not sufficient grounds to deny someone's freedom.

Empathy for the victim?? She's forgiven him. Read up. And don't come at me with "future victims that setting such a precedent would help to create," that's distilled nonsense. Stopping Polanski's prosecution wouldn't create a single victim. On the contrary, it would avoid creating a crime.

I didn't say I never label, I said I wasn't eager to. He deserves to be a called a great artist, because he's made several great movies. But one mistake, however horrible, shouldn't earn him the label rapist. That makes it seem like he's going to rape again or is somehow dangerous.

That's essentially what you said. Part of the argument hinges on how dangerous he may or may not be, and your proceeded to speculate about the untold victims who've yet to com forward, as if that should have bearing on this case.

That's exactly what I'm doing

Yeah, let's jail people for speculation.

Also, most great artists, if you look into their private lives, you're going to find nasty shit.

What is the purpose of incarceration in this instance?

Also, you seem to suggest people can never redeem themselves. I don't subscribe to that.

When did he do it more than once?

Because I think jailing an old artist for "ideals" and the "message it sends" helps no one and is a crime in itself, maybe not legally, but morally and ethically.

Enlighten me as to how he's a danger to anyone.

Oh, this argument is about the victim now? I agree it's a heinous crime, I was unaware that I was advocating it.

Jimmy Saville is reprehensible. Someone like Polanski is flawed, did something awful, but I think it's judgmental to call him a 'monster' of any kind.

His crime was reprehensible, he's not.
