He's no pedophile though. That girl was at a fucking party in the fucking villa of a Hollywood millionaire. She herself said she forgave Polanski and didn't want him to be prosecuted long ago.
There wasn't a party, it was him and her, alone, in Jack Nicholson's house, where he was doing a photo shoot of her for Vogue, the second of two shoots he'd arranged with her mother. Anjelica Huston returned to the house after the "shoot" had started, and the victim testified that she was banging on the bedroom door because she suspected what was going on.
Pedophilia is pre-pubescent children, she was 13, past the technical age of pedophilia - but having sex with her, at any age over 18, was and still is illegal, and he's admitted to having done it. His legal position is entirely of his own making, for fleeing the country. Having sex with a 13 year old at 43 is wrong. Lying about it being "consensual" is wrong. Her forgiving him is irrelevant to his actions and his fleeing the country. He's a dirtbag no matter how you try to slice it.
That's the first time I hear the story that way. Don't even remember Nicholson ever being mentioned, but a quick look into Wiki confirms. Ngl I'm a bit confused now.
Read up on it. The whole story has been twisted over the years to make Polanski look less guilty, and they've tried hard to keep Nicholson out of it. There has been debate for years over Nicholson knowing what Polanski intended doing in his home, etc.
Yep. But his movies are still great works. He should rot in hell and France should be ashamed they protect a pedophile, but his movies can stay.

She was 14 years old and he butt fucked her.
She was groomed by Hollywood trafickers and pimped out to their pedo inner circle.
I don't care if anyone forgives a pedo, head in a bag and tighten with ziplocks.
