Polanski The Pervert (Grand Jury Testimony of Polanski's 13 year old Victim)

The Smoking Gun ^ | 6/10/2008 | Samantha Gailey

[mojito]

...[W]e're reprising the harrowing 1977 grand jury testimony of the 13-year-old California girl with whom the director had sex after plying her with Champagne and a Quaalude at the Los Angeles home of Jack Nicholson. Polanski, now 74, fled the U.S. for Europe before he could be sentenced for the sex crime and remains a fugitive from justice. In graphic testimony, Samantha Gailey described the illicit encounter with Polanski, which began with her posing naked in a Jacuzzi for him as he purportedly snapped photos for French Vogue. From there, Polanski approached her in a bedroom of Nicholson's Mulholland Drive home....

you forgot criminal flight from prosecution.

Perhaps the other actresses are willing to do whatever it takes to get the part. Thats fine if they are adults, still sleazy, but legal.

When I went to the link to read the deposition of the victim, that was not mentioned...so I really have no idea since I was only a teenager myself at (almost 15 years old) at the time.

All I am saying is that anyone who performs a heinous act such as this should not go unpunished. The girl was a minor. And quite frankly, I don't understand why you asked me that question in the first place.

[driftdiver]

Don’t forget he was in jack nickolsen’s home when it happened. standard fare at that place from what I’ve read.

Somehow, cash settlements have never, ahem, “settled” well with me.

Will a bag of cash comfort the teenage girl when she has terror in the night? Can she hug it, call out to it, use it to defend herself from her fears, both real and imagined?

Will any of that money still be around when she marries, and her relationship with her husband is stressed by her hatred of men?

I don’t care if he settled with the girl for $2 million. None of it mitigates the fact that he pursued that child for the purposes of rape.

I hope this prosecution leads to bringing more Hollywood filth to justice.

Reportedly one of Polanski's first photos of the 13-year-old victim...

Per the transcript, she still was 13 when she testified...

Not wasting more than one second of time on this guy. This is just a sideshow. Who cares about this? The woman in question doesn't care, so why should anyone else? Our country and the world is falling apart and people are all buzzing about this old perv. This happens to Muslim girls by the hundreds or thousands every day. Maybe people should be more concerned about that.

[TXnMA]

It may be a "sideshow" to you, but criminal justice is one of the bottom-tier foundations tones of our Republic.

Polanski is merely a highly-visible test case for "getting it right" or of creating one more "exception because of Liberal whining".

With a totally fabricated illegal alien fraud squatting in our White House, and all three branches of the current regime supporting his fraud, we, the people, should not be complicit in further weakening our foundation.

If Polanski was a priest, the left would want to hang him. You wouldn’t hear how it had been 30 years since the rape or how it wasn’t “really” rape.

[beckett]

Polanski committed a rape on a non-consenting 13 year old girl. He plied her with alcohol and pills and forced himself upon her against her will. She was too drunk and too young and scared to fight him off physically. But she never consented and repeatedly told him to stop, and she cried a river when it was over.

That’s RAPE, a particularly heinous rape against a child. Since the girl only met him once before the rape, it’s practically stranger rape, and certainly in no way qualifies as mere statutory rape, as some in Hollywood are now claiming.

I might read this later.
