The award-winning director has been wanted in the US for decades after admitting to sex with a minor. Mr Polanski, now 83, fled ahead of his sentencing for statutory rape in 1978. The Cesars have defended their choice, praising the director as an "insatiable aesthete".

This was not mere “statutory” rape. This was a 43 y/o man drugging a 13 y/o girl and forcing himself on her (oral, anal, and vaginal) after (even under the influence of alcohol and drugs) she repeatedly said “no”. The man is a disgusting predator.

Ah yes, Whoopi and “rape rape”. That was an absurd comment by a Hollywood idiot. Many Hollywood idiots give Polanksi a pass on his drugging and raping a 13 year old girl.

On the other hand, the same Hollywood idiots who pervade our culture with obscenities and over the top sexual situations were outraged that Trump said the word “pussy”. Go figure.

Lest we forget how VILE Polanski is, let us recall the man’s actual words: “Everyone loves to f*** young girls” (meaning children). This man is a sick pedophile, which is why the Left protects him, since many of their thought leaders are pedophiles themselves. This man should receive the ultimate penalty for his perversion and abuses.

Why should I type when I was just going to say what you already said?

I’m mad at his victim, who now sloughs it off like it was nothing. It is dead wrong and it deserves jail time.

And please remember that he was given her by her mother for an afternoon of photography for her to be a model or actress. In that vein, to the little girl, he was a person of authority. IT IS NEVER RIGHT for a person of authority to misuse it in order to have an orgasm using a minor.

Drugged and repeatedly raped a 13-year-old girl.

Notwithstanding, Meryl Streep called him a “creative genius,” and gave him a standing ovation.
