You're a fantastic moral compass.

So Roman Polanski has finally been arrested and is possibly going to be extradited for the rape of a 13 year old girl. That is if the French and the Swiss don't loose their backbones and actually do something right just this once.

And then we have many of the Hollywood elite coming out in support of this child rapist.



Seriously? Not "Rape, Rape". I know Obama would say I was "Stretching" but let's look at the definition of rape from Dictionary.com
rape
1  /reɪp/
–noun
1. the unlawful compelling of a woman through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse.
2. any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person.
3. statutory rape.
4. an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.
5. Archaic. the act of seizing and carrying off by force.
–verb (used with object)
6. to force to have sexual intercourse.
7. to plunder (a place); despoil.
8. to seize, take, or carry off by force.
–verb (used without object)
9. to commit rape.
Origin:
1250–1300; (v.) ME rapen < AF raper < L rapere to seize, carry off by force, plunder; (n.) ME < AF ra(a)p(e), deriv. of raper

Related forms:
rap⋅a⋅ble, rape⋅a⋅ble, adjective
rapist, raper, noun


And then I give you from The Smoking Gun, the transcript of this woman's account from the actual case.


Hmmm......I'd say it's rape but then it's really hard to decipher those complex moral issues when most of Hollywood epic fails on the easy ones. Notice not a whole lot of Hollywood didn't say boo when Mackenzie Phillips came out saying she had sex with her father for 10 years.
