Apparently the victim wants to do just that - but what the victim wants is irrelevant, unfortunately. It's what needs to be done. The man trolled, he groomed, he drugged a 13 year old girl and had sex with her. It's illegal, it's a crime. There is no ambiguity - it doesn't matter if Polanski 'thought' she consented (then why the drugs?)It's illegal. the Swiss government does what it has always done. It sold out in the Second World War2, under the blanket of 'neutrality' and it sold out now - and just what was their 30 pieces of silver?
The man raped a child. He used alcohol, he used coercion, he stalked her, he used drugs, he didn't listen to her when she said no. She went along with it in the end because she had no power and if she did she could go home. She might have been a typical curious 13 year old - but she was a child - and if you read the transcript you get the feel of just how young she was - and then there was the sheer legality of it - SHE WAS 13!
- whether she was 'willing' or not is irrelevant. Legally she was a minor.- I have issues with a country that gives freedom to a person like that. I'm disgusted.Switzerland disgusts me.
it is disgusting, I agree with you. I have four daughters, and if one of them was 'that' victim, and this
decision came down today, I would take care of him myself, but actually I would have taken care of him years ago,
very discreetly, very privately, and very quickly with the help of others, and no one would have ever known,
except me'n my friends, justice would have been served.
