Did he?

Was she?

Who really did it?

I don't know, but he did confess. What does say about whether he's guilty or innocent if he confesses and then flees the country? I doubt an innocent person would do that.

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

either way, Polanski is guilty of a crime. If he had sex with a minor it's statutory rape. That's the law. Her parents may also be guilty of a crime. But unless Polanski was forced to have sex with the girl, or never had sex with the girl, Polanski is guilty of a crime.

You are right when you say it should go back to court, so how come Polanski didn't let for so long and still seems to think it shouldn't?
