She was 13, he knew that, and there was force. He admitted that at the time.

The victim didn't make that determination. The woman who sold him the victim did.

It's not as if people were lining up to condemn the rich white successful director / victim of the Manson family / holocaust survivor. What he did was awful and violent and he's never paid for it.

Having sex with someone you've drugged who repeatedly says no is not merely statutory, although it was that as well.

He has the right to ask for a retrial. He doesn't want it.

Well, western Europe, anyway.

Occam's razor suggests both.

You did read the part where he's trying to nullify his conviction so he can repatriate without consequences?

And this conversation wasn't complete without the MRA talking points. Yeah, a grown ass man drugging and raping a barely pubescent child is definitely the hill you want to die on with that.

She was an underaged virgin, and her stage mother sold her to a rich old guy. There is no such thing as a 13yo prostitute, just child sex trafficking.

Having sex with your children's teenaged sister when she's of legal age isn't against the law, and she insists they waited. It's still a spectacularly creepy thing to do.

Nah, he has high profile stans. Plenty of folks who've been at loose ends looking for someone dodgy to back because It's The Work That Matters since Elia Kazan and Leni Riefenstahl died have moved on to Polanski. They even gaslighted the kid he bought from her mom and raped, who really wants his fans to leave her…

Well, in this specific case, I assume that the 'they' who released the pussygrab tape is NBC News, who sat on it for weeks and then released it when their hand was forced. The shadowy chthonic 'they' I took to be some combination of conspiracy theory and poor grasp of the timeline.

You'd have to ask the OP. I rather doubt he knows.

My mother's not my type, but in the case of the tapes the entity sitting on them was NBC.

Or has gmail addresses connected to his market-moving social media accounts.

and they're rolling out exactly the same playbook both Bernie and Trump used against her on Elizabeth Warren for the same douchebros to run with.

They didn't voluntarily release the Trump tape. They buried it until the Washington Post got a copy from a disgusted insider and then ran it on an entertainment program.
