You mean Roman Polanski the famous child molester?
No, they mean Roman Polanski the famous child rapist.
Same thing?
Technically maybe. I’m of the belief, however, that rape should be called rape and not couched in other terms that make it sound less severe.
Is it less severe?
Yes, I would say most people would consider penetrative rape, which is what happened, more severe than something like grabbing her genitals and then letting her go, which is far less than what happened but would be considered molestation.
Fair enough
that the victim, now old, does not punished?
The plaintiff must have had pretty damning evidence for Polanski to pay up to make something that happened over half a century ago disappear.
He confessed and was convicted but fled punishment.
A cash settlement 50 years later is the only justice available to the victim.
It’s disgusting how many famous actors continue to defend this man who raped a child.

…and directors - because it’s a whole system, not just a function of fame. Probably particularly a lot of casting directors involved because they’re often involved in choosing who gets picked for roles.
Most CSA is done opportunistically, by people in roles that have lots of contact with minors, and by people they know and are familiar with.
