I read in a biography of Polanski that it was after his wife was murdered so, that he first developed a taste for teenage girls; would watch them as they left high school. It was wrong what he did to her, however, she's "forgiven" him and has asked that the case be dropped. Hi is a genius filmmaker for sure, a pervert for sure too. He's pretty old now.
In 1977, he gave a quaalude to a 13 year-old and then had sex with her. He was 43 at the time. He pled guilty.
Nowadays, it's inexcusable. In 1977... I don't know. George Washington owned slaves. I eat meat from industrially farmed animals, which will likely be seen as barbaric in 2100.
He does make good movies. It doesn't excuse the quaalude...

DIdn't she "forgive" him after it was clear he would never be extradited to justice and he paid her to?
She probably figured it was better than no justice at all.

In '77 it was a high crime and public outrage.
Only the inside insiders in Hollywood quietly protected him.
