And honestly I can't blame her. If they get him back here, she will have to relive it all over again. And I'm sure she'll have to deal with the always enjoyable "well, sure she 'says' she said no.." and "she would have fought back more if it was really rape" or my personal favorite "she was asking for it." It pains me that in order for Polanski to receive the punishment he richly deserves, she basically has to be raped all over again. Only this time, it'll be by the media and Polanski's friends/lawyers in plain sight for all to see. God (if you swing that way) be with her in the weeks to come. She's going to need all the help/support she can get. Great, now /I/ want to punch something.
