Somebody needs to invent a neologism for people who never use neologisms correctly.

Hey you are the one now running around crying Polanksi wasn't even convicted.

Have a look in the mirror.

The entire point Tarantino was making is forcible rape, and statutory rape are not the same thing. And he’s RIGHT. Even the law agrees, that’s why there is a different name, and punishment for it!!

So tell me, where is the crime in what Tarantino said? He literally stated the actual legal difference between rape and statutory rape.

And then there was that great thinker and legal mind of the modern age - Whoopi Goldberg -
who said, and I quote ~ It wasn't Rape rape. ~

Oh well. If we're going to get technical:

$1:

In March 1977, film director Roman Polanski was arrested and charged in Los Angeles with five offenses against Samantha Geimer, a 13-year-old girl[1] – rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor.[2] At his arraignment, Polanski pleaded not guilty to all charges[3] but later accepted a plea bargain whose terms included dismissal of the five initial charges[4] in exchange for a guilty plea to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse.[4][5]

Personally, I don't think 40-year-olds should be doing that do 13-year-olds.

But Quentin Tarantino says if you label it the way he likes "Poof!" Everything becomes OK.
