I agree with every word of what Kate Harding writes here: I don't care that Polanski is a brilliant director, or that his wife was murdered, or that he was "railroaded" by the justice system. He still raped a 13-year-old girl, and he still fled law enforcement for 30 years rather than face sentencing for a crime he undoubtedly committed. Hollywood's near-unanimous defense of him is not one of its finer moments.
