There is no victim here, and there is much available evidence about the extent to which her testimony early on was coerced, cajoled and manipulated.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the girl say "No" to Polanski several times? Given his power and strength of will and the fact that she was given part of a Quaalude and some champagne, that sure sounds like rape to me, regardless of what you call the "ass" law. Also, wasn't she paid off? If so, kind of detracts from her credibility with respect to letting it go, does it not?
