And for good reason in this case especially, since Polansky paid the victim off.
Dottore's objections seem dance around a lot in this case. First, it was no big deal, was consensual and happened a long time ago. Now it's because our legal system is arbitrary and capricious (I agree with him here). The bottom line for me is that Polansky was an adult at the time and exercised piss-poor judgment on numerous occasions wrt hanging out with very young women. It was a pattern of behavior, and one not to be voluntarily corrected. Poor judgment by people who should know better should have consequences.
