The law of consent in rape cases where there is incapacity (drugs or alcohol) seems to vary pretty widely from state to state in the U.S. Several state statutes provide that intoxication (even when voluntary) can negate consent.

I'm not sure what the law in CA is, and I'm too lazy to read a bunch of cases. I'm just trying to point out that WhuazGoodJaggah's assertion that "I know women who slept with guys because of alcohol and they regret that hard, but at that night they wanted to fuck whyever" is not based on any legal knowledge that he has.

You don't get to decide what consent is by your social experiences, it's a matter of law for the courts of whatever jurisdiction to decide.

And also if you read the transcript for this case, you can see why we have the age of consent that we do in the U.S. I don't mind two 13 year olds fucking, but we're trying to prevent just this situation where an older person, with more experience and power, completely dominates a young victim who doesn't have the maturity or willpower to fight him off.

We just don't want our kids to get taken advantage of, that's all.


The fact that many women get fucked when they are drunk and that very little ammount of men doing this are convicted of rape comes from social expirience and not from legal knowledge. I dont know how you call this, we call this the "dark figure".

In Switzerland (this is where RP is sitting and where im from) rape is considered an "official delict" (dunno the english word) so the victim can not decide weather the rapist should go to jail or not. According to this legal situation, someone who fucks a loaded guy/girl should go to jail no matter wether the counterpart "went to the cops" or not. But these cases are like non existant here, but the fucking loaded girls/guys is happening every weekend. Grown ups can just take such failures on them self (if I fuck with a fugly girl, I consider this my own fault not her fault to load me up). Younger ppl have a different view on such stuff, but especially their parents have a different view.

You think a 20y old virgin has more expiriance than a 15y old nymphomaniac? I fought verbally with my teachers when I was 9. I made up my own decision since I was very young, but I also had to stand for them and suffered because I made a lot of very stupid decisions. Age is a very bad indicator to use as a hard line to decide expirience and power. Thats why the us american system is very stupid with limiting the power to make such decisions up to 18/17/16 (sex) or alcohol/casino(21). Such decision are very individual and should not be bound by a general age limit.


besides that, I couldnt care less about this idiot fucking a 13 year old girl like 30 years ago. I just think its funny that those ppl wanting to fuck so young girls dont go to the place where its actually legal to do it. Just like ppl going to Netherland to smoke weed and eat shrooms.

yes it can! If I use that translation I posted it is perfectly possible, if there is a Problem its the language aka not the exact correct word. but if you want to still rid on this dickword we can argue in german/swiss german and then you will be on the weak language part can you can fight with such bullshit.


whether or not a person is ready for intercourse is not for you to decide. whatever is written in the law of whatever area you are in decides. it's just the way the world works. where RP drugged, raped and sodomized this 13 year old it happens that it's illegal. ergo, he should be punished. straight forward, no?

agree. it made little to no sense to me either :/

i think he was trying to argue that the gravity of RP's crime has been exaggerated because the girl was obviously a lot more mature than the law would say (13 year old = child). which is obviously a horrible argument.

His brilliant analysis of jurisdiction in this case is we have to apply the law where Polanski "is sitting". Damn, first they neglect to teach me Swiss law, and then they fail to mention the "sitting" doctrine of what law to apply. How can I ever understand criminal law in the US if this was never taught to me?

oh wait i get what he was saying now.

girls going to a party, getting drunk and hooking up is a different situation. the girl at the party got drunk voluntary and, assuming she''s experienced alcohol before, can to some degree control herself and understand her body's limits. if a girl claimed to be raped while drunk at a party, then it would have to be looked at on a case-by case basis, because rape with alcohol involved has a lot of grey area.

in RPs case he insisted and pressured the girl to take the drugs and alcohol with the obvious intention of raping her. this is the key difference. the girl didn't WANT to take the drugs, and also didnt really know what effect they would have. he knew what effect they would have. he was obviously taking advantage of her which makes it a clear-cut case of rape. among the effects, quaaludes have an aphrodisiac effect, which im sure he knew because his physician had "prescribed" some to him (lol what a lucky guy)

From what I understand in my state (WA) if a minor blows a .02 they cannot give consent.

Long story short come back the next day and see if they still want to fuck you.

I understand your point of view and it is clear that it shouldnt matter if a director or whatever did a crime. But in this case the presiding judge Rittenband did not close the case because Polanski is a celebrity. Rittenband was the "judge of the stars" and tried to get as much publicity as he could get through the case.

Wow maybe we should give free pedo passes to James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, I MEAN LOOK AT THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS PPL. But seriously if you go to smokinggun or whatever that site is you can read the whole transcript from that girl of what polanski did to her, it was NOT consensual.
Ya well, at least I don't fuck a fleshlight with a condom on and cry at the same time.

i know im just repeating things, but none the less:

the worst thing is not that she was 13 - although there are many problems with that. it's that she was drugged and raped. this is nothing like getting drunk at a bar with a girl and fucking her. the situations are not analogous. this is more like slipping someone a quaalude and anally raping them.

You guys realize that the whole mess is more about the way and time he got arrested rather than him being guilty or not, right?
No matter who he is, how long ago he did what he did, how much he apologized to the victim, he should go to jail, and all these artists and celebs arround the world backing him up are just making fools of themselves.

the only problem in this case is that in california EVERY intercourse with a 13-years-old girl (if she wants or not) counts as rape before the law (the motive is quite OK, to protect underage ppl, but considering EVERY (and thus even willingly) sexual intercourse rape is imho just plain wrong...

(read the 3rd post in thread, even the 'victim' thinks this is an obsolete case)
