: Statutory Rapists or just Rapists == 

 Roman Polanski does not belong in this category statutory rapists, because he is a rapist whose victim just happened to be a minor.  "Statutory Rape" can be a somewhat minor crime, brought perhaps by angry parents when their daughter has eloped with a young man even though the local statutes say she's not quite old enough to make that decision, and then she goes on to marry the fellow and maybe be upstanding citizens together.  According to the judge and jury, Roman Polanski gave her Quaalues and alchohol to disable her ability to fight him off and then raped and sodomized her anally.  The drugs did not stop her from protesting and fighting him anyway and she did not consent.  This would have been rape at any age.  This is rape plain and simple, and so he should be on the list of rapists, simple as that, not in the same category as, for exammple, a female high school teacher who carried on a sexual romance with one her her eighteen year old male students and the other things people did to earn their membership in that category.  He must be moved him to [[Category:Rapists]], he deserves no deceptive "statutory" modifier on this title!
