Oh, God, I know. It's driving me crazy, perhaps particularly because I keep seeing things on the internet about how Polanski's original trial was a 'witch hunt' ('regardless of whether or not he raped the girl, justice was not served!' one person said), and this comes in a month where (1) the Guardian published a review of a stage adaptation of Lolita which confidently stated that Nabokov's novel is the tragedy of a man destroyed by the sexual machinations of a teenage girl, and (2) that Buckingham University guy keeps insisting that female undergraduates have more power than male academics and are always the initiating partners in any sexual contact between the two.
