I am glad to hear that we can put aside our political differences and agree that whomever rapes a child, it is wrong. And that those who engage in this practice should be vigorously prosecuted and imprisoned for their gross crimes regardless of their political affiliation.
We are all proud of you back home.
Statutory rape is wrong. And I'm sure the activists know that and agree with it. But at this point, in this particular case, it's a virtually a victimless crime. And they don't want to see their bud in prison for the rest of his life. I HATE most activism, but I see their point.

My apologies if your definition and mine of pedophile do not go arm in arm, and, if you're correct in your defection, and that mine might be taking away from the sickness of true pedophiles, then I thank you for pointing this out.
On the other hand? Not everyone lives is FREAKIN AMERICA - And it doesn’t take learning English to know anyone who rapes a child, is a pedophile and anyone who rapes an adult is a rapist.
But maybe this is for another thread, yes?
Enough said.
Point being.
I do think politicians protect their own, of course they do.
Just the way wolves always hunt in a pack...
peace

ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday America continued to raise questions about the arrest of Roman Polanski in Europe, spinning the case as a "31 year-old prosecutorial obsession." According to reporter Nick Watt, the film director has "been hunted since 1978."
The View's Whoopi Goldberg yesterday offered the most outrageous and despicable defense of child rapist and Hollywood director Roman Polanski yet: "It wasn't rape-rape." That's right. Goldberg tried to claim that Polanksi drugging and having sex with a thirteen year old girl, who repeatedly uttered 'no' to the predator, does not qualify as 'actual' rape
