Well, plying the girl with 'ludes, champagne and allegedly going down on her doesn't constitute "consensual". The strange aspect is that the other year, this woman publicly stated that she was over it and bygones should be bygones. I don't know, if I were raped and had to see this person flourish in their career as a film maker in the public eye, personally, I couldn't be so serene about them getting away with it.
I do agree, however, Polanski made some phenomenal films. It's akin to the feeling one gets surrounding Gary Glitter - convicted kiddy diddler but that still doesn't cancel out the fact he came out with some glam-tastic anthems in the 70's.
