Did he?

Who really did it?

It's not as cut and dry as everyone on here seems to making out.

Is this a case of child rape or child prostitution with blackmail?

Either way it should go back to court, the full story should come out and all guilty parties should be punished (if they are still alive).

I beleive Polanski did it... as he did confess to drugging and raping a little girl.

Child prostitution is de facto child rape. Paying to rape a child doesn't change that. I have no idea what the victim's parents were thinking, but that changes absolutely nothing.

Pretty cut and dry.

Perhaps here parents might have been guilty of something too. But if her mom and dad were Huggy Bear and Dolemite, it doesn't in any way shape or form ameliorate Polansky's crime.
