There have been rumors about him for years and years, from what I understand. It's not just young women actors this happens to--remember Corey Haim? He and Corey Feldman apparently/allegedly went through similar abuse when they were child actors. The entire Hollywood veneer is rife with sex abuse. Kind of like the political world, churches, etc. Anywhere there is power, there is sex abuse.
This kind of thing no longer surprises me, I am sorry to say.
Rosemary’s Baby is what Polanski is most noted for I think. He was to be tried for Statutory Rape but fled the country.I forget what Polanski directed or did, but I know I can't watch a Woody Allen movie at all since the scandal with his and Mia's adopted daughter. Not that I ever was drawn to his movies before...

He was tried; he admits he had sex with/sodomized a 13-year-old. His 'excuses' include that her mother pimped her out to him----he didn't know her age---she's gone on record saying she's moved on now and doesn't want him serving time, etc.
Tough nougies. He made a deal with the Prosecution and then he fled the country. If he was black or brown they'd have gone and gotten him.
Similar in that they both drug and exploit (rape) women, and under age girls.Bill Cosby is still walking around, free, smirking. He bought a mistrial. Nothing similar btw Cosby and Polanski.

Well, Cos administered drugs to achieve simulated necrophilia. Polansky offered drugs for disinhibition.
I like reading celebrity blind items. They've often referred to Harvey's girls where he'd have some blonde ingenue propped up as the next IT and of course there was the casting couch and other sordid things thrown into the mix.
Perhaps an argumentative distinction? My point @azstonie in bringing up Bill Cosby, goes back to your earlier comment regarding Polanski’s fleeing the country. You said, “If he was black or brown they’d have gone and gotten him.” Perhaps you see it differently, however I don’t see that Mr. Cosby has had a disadvantage in our judicial system because he is black.
Your argument highlighting differing means they use to assault is moot.
I will say it again, powerful men in powerful institutions prey on vulnerable women/children. From Hollywood to Priests to Politicians to Medical Professionals. My 2 cents.
