Quentin Tarantino Defends Roman Polanski OnTheHoward Stern Show
InTheHoward Stern Showinterview, Tarantino was caught on tape defending Roman Polanski’s actions with a 13-year-old girl, terming it as not“r*pe”in the traditional sense and suggesting the victim was, in a way, “down with it.”
“He didn’t rpe a 13-year-old. It was statutory rpe…he had s-x with a minor. That’s not r-pe. To me, when you use the word r*pe, you’re talking about violent, throwing them down—it’s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t throw the word r-pe around. It’s like throwing the word ‘racist’ around. It doesn’t apply to everything people use it for.”
