The files that damn Roman Polanski: Court account of what he REALLY did to 13yr old

Exactly. When I think back to all the things I did as a teenager UNSUPERVISED, it amazes me now. Things were indeed very different. No helicopter parents in my crowd.



I've read all the documents, thanks. Including the girl's testimony. What the mother did (or didn't do) doesn't change the facts of this CRIME.

And this is why I refuse to helicopter the heathens. I may live to regret it but I want them to be able to handle themselves in the world and not be namby pamby babies unable to navigate the world.

Wonderful way to sum things up. Wonderful.

The only person to blame is the person who committed the crime. That is all. Nothing more.

You've lost me. You don't like the fact that I summed it up in the graphic terms it deserves but then go on to say that the person who committed the crime is to blame? Ok.

It was also a very different time back then. Kids hitch hiked and we all believed it was a less dangerous world.

Exactly. During this time, a lot more people slept with the doors unlocked. There was a different mentality.

Maxey - the bottom line is that it doesn't matter what the mother allowed or not. Polanski still broke the law by drugging and raping a 13 yo girl. That you choose to look for other issues is disrespectful of rape victims.

Agreed.

Yes, I did loose you without meaning to and I am sorry about that. I actually really like how you summed things up in graphic terms. I really do. Anyone in their right mind who can defend Polanski should be reminded of what he did in graphic terms as a wake up call or something. Because, the only person to blame is the one who did the crime.
