It would be easy to file them under conspiracy-theory paranoia if it weren't for the way that the stories and reports keep surfacing, and the apparently inconsistent standards that apply to famous people.
This whole campaign against Polanski must have something else behind it.
Why would he be singled out when, during the 1960s-80s Los Angeles 'free love' movement, any number of prominent movie and music stars - Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Denis Hopper, Jim Morrison, to name only a few - were engaged in luxury home, pool-side, drugged out orgies? Virtually all of this took place in notorious Laurel Canyon where, for several decades, underage girls were consumed like hors d'oeuvres.
How many parents are on record as having objected?
This is not to condone Polanski's act, by any means, but the LA police department might have done better to do a thorough investigation of the murder of Polanski's pregnant wife, which was studiously thwarted, than to have pursued Polanski for what was known to authorities to be common Laurel Canyon practice.
One might wonder even whether Polanski knows a thing or two about the Laurel Valley drug / sex / murder racket that authorities would prefer to ensure were kept under wraps. .
