Estrich was singing a different tune about Bill Clinton and Juanita Broaddrick...
SUSAN ESTRICH RESPONDS TO JUANITA BROADDRICK’S OFFER TO SPEAK ABOUT HER RAPE — “not interested”

Good for you Susan, you haven’t been swayed by who he is or what he has done. He plead guilty and then fled the punishment. Hopefully now he will serve his time plus that for fleeing.
Yes he did, “At 15 Natia Kinski began a romantic relationship with director Roman Polanski...”
If he was a Roman Catholic priest, the glitterati would be baying for his blood.
Frankly I'm a little shocked at the number of luminaries who apparently feel either that special rules (extending to child rape?) should apply to special people, or that he got away with it and we shouldn't revisit the issue because it's old. Remember the names next time these people pose as avatars of morality with respect to other issues. "Yeah, Bush should go to jail for letting someone put water up a murderer's nose but child rape is OK if you're One Of Us." Right.
Doesn’t matter whether the victim forgave him or not; he still raped her; therefore doesn’t deserve a pass.
To be fair, Juanity Broaddrick never submitted a complaint to the police. She missed her chance.
She was. Apparently Polanskum hasn't done enough for abortion rights to merit Estrich's sympathy.
Birds of a feather flock together, is an old saying that comes to my mind when I hear all these hollywood & european big shots crying foul over this rapist finally being caught and jailed.
Just makes me wonder what they’ve been doing to young girls that they would see nothing wrong with a 13 year old being raped by this rapist.
Yes, he did, evidently because she didn't remember exactly when her last period was because she was too drugged on Quaaludes and champagne.
Even if the woman is over seeing him see jail time, he is still due in a jail cell for jumping bail.
Well someone provided a young Drew Barrymore with drugs and alcohol at adult parties.
The Obama Injustice Department did that in the Black Panther election day case.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more perfect example of the left’s ideology concerning the rule of law vs. cult of personality.
The hollywood gliteratti are working under the assumption that since Polanski was so gifted, he should not face the full force of the law. Exactly what the left has in store for the rest of the country, if they are able to stack the courts as they now are attempting to do. There could be no more clear example of the axiom: Some people are more “equal” than others.
If that were my daughter, I’d be explaining to the nice officers how Mr. Polanski got that fatal bullet wound.
A friend of mine went to school on the east coast with a guy who, after graduation, went out to Hollywood to work in costumes. Fifteen years later he came back east to visit (sometime in the mid 80s), visited her and her husband, admired their 2-year-old, and after the kid was in bed, the adults had a glass of wine and some conversation. One topic led to another — eventually he said huffily that he thought that having sex with young girls was an ok thing to do because his “friend” Jack Nicholson was into it. That was the last time they spoke to him, much less let him near their house.
Oddly, the victim was quoted in Reuters as saying she didn’t think Polanski should be given any prison time.
Does anyone know what goes on, really?
I heard that she got some money....don’t know if its true.
Susan Estrich is my favorite liberal.
On most issues, she is pretty far to the left, but she is usually intellectually honest.
