Roman Polanski free

A good video with both the victim and Polanski, where they both agree that it was not consensual.

One thing that keeps bothering me is that the DA makes a big deal about Polanski "drugging her" and raping her. In fact she was at the time a pretty hard core druggie, who liked to drink. That she did those things that day is neither here nor there, she did not ingest these under any force.

And he did these things with a 13 year old child. That's a very big deal. A big criminal deal.

it is now, it was not at the time....you might recall that the original consensus
from the public was that it was her fault, the she was a tramp who lead him into it....

at 's not nice to say, Hawkeye, calling her names, even if u allege that it was a "consensus".

Smart people dont censor history in the effort to keep it nice.

Author Gore Vidal says he refuses to feel any sympathy for Roman Polanski’s rape victim, whom he dubs a “hooker.”

In an interview with The Atlantic, the controversial 83-year-old author of such books as “Myra Breckinridge” and “1876” says of the director’s sex scandal, “I really don’t give a [expletive]. Look am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s being taken advantage of?”

The young woman to whom he is referring is Samantha Geimer, who was a 13-year-old aspiring model in 1977 when she was drugged and raped by Polanski.


Vidal went on to say that the media pushed an inaccurate image of Geimer, painting her as an innocent victim as opposed to what he believes to be her true identity.


“I was in the middle of all that,” he says of the scandal. “Back then, we all were. Everybody knew everybody else. There was a totally different story at the time that doesn’t resemble anything that we’re now being told.”

Worse, Vidal claims that it is the media’s vehement “anti-Semitic and anti-fag thing” that led to the persecution of Polanski, who is Jewish and was born in Poland.




“The media can’t get anything straight … The idea that this girl was in her communion dress, a little angel all in white, being raped by this awful Jew, ‘Polacko’ – that’s what people were calling him – well, the story is totally different now from what it was then … Anti-Semitism got poor Polanski.”

applying words like "tramp" to her. I think its uncalled for.

she was a tramp who lead him into it...

The girl seeks no vengeance.
She has defended Polanski, more than once.
Its not very nice to essentially drag her name thru the mud,
applying words like "tramp" to her. I think its uncalled for.

Let's see, an adult male rapes a 13 year old child and she gets called a tramp
