In Defense of Roman Polanski


Roman Polanski is world renown director responsible for such classics as Rosemary’s Baby, Chinatown and The Pianist. He also raped a 13 year-old girl by getting her drunk and sodomizing her.

His talent is unquestionable. Actors, directors, writers from around the world have praised his amazing body of work. He’s been nominated for four Academy Awards, winning for Best Director in 2003. He also raped a 13 year-old girl by getting her drunk and sodomizing her.

Polanski’s victim has since forgiven him for getting her drunk and then raping and sodomizing her. She has moved on with her life. Good for her. She is not going to let one horrible incident define her life and is moving forward. As for Polanski, he’s not been able to move on from this incident, because when he was a 44 year-old man, he raped a child, by getting her drunk and then raping and sodomizing her. Poor Roman has lived a life of luxury overseas without ever facing justice for his crimes, while the young girl had to piece together her life on her own.

I should probably re-title this post, but fuck it—if Polanski can call himself an artist and not a rapist, I can call this piece anything I want.
