the fact that the alleged victim wants the charges dropped is likely to make any subsequent trial a bit difficult.

If she was 13-years-old, it's statutory rape. Ironically, what she wants from the situation has no bearing on what the American penal system will do.

Ha. Penal.

why say "alleged victim" when pretty much everyone involved has admitted that it happened as far as i know

'Alleged' because it's not been settled legally. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

yeah, fair.
but usually when someone says "alleged victim" it seems to carry a connotation that they're lying and haven't been the victim of anything.

since polanksy pleaded guilty i'm sure there was enough evidence to show that she was most certainly a victim, lot's of murders never get solved but people never call the stiff an alleged victim

I don't understand why everyone can't just get together and and say "Yeah, ok, we all want to have sex with girls as soon as they're sexually developed regardless of their age too" and instead of arrest him just give him a high five.

fuck this.

Not when there's a lack of clear consent and administration of booze & quaaludes. Allegedly. The Smoking Gun has full court transcripts..

Mind, the kid's mother has a lot to answer for too.

In what way?


Was it actual rape or was she consenting?

it's just bullshit.

let bygones be bygones.

Right. I think if the "victim" doesn't want him charged he shouldn't be.

I think the most important question is if she was a hot 13 year-old.

yeah, why aren't there pics?

Seeing that picture, she was not worth the trouble at all. In his defense, he was raised on a diet of french women.

would hit it, but yeah, not worth all this trouble

Now this is a 13 year-old I'd suffer over:

Actually, can someone get that picture to his lawyers? I think I might have just saved him.

Polanski made that picture.
