There is far more to this story. The mother was COMPLICIT! She 'sold out' her daughter to Polanski, yet everyone focuses on Polanski.
The Daily Mail article states:
'At first I had the understanding I was just going to the beach with my mom. We were there for a little while by ourselves, and then he was there.' (IMPLICATION: Mom knows Polanski was meeting them there)
The impressionable Barnard said she believed the beach photographs were being snapped for a magazine.
'First, he was taking pictures of me in the bikini, then it was with the coat then he said take off the bikini top, which I was comfortable with as I was only 10 and I often ran around with no top on,' she said, according to The Sun report. (SO an innocent 10-year-old is okay with being photographed topless for a 'magazine', AND her mom is there TOO!"
'But then he wanted me to take my bikini bottoms off - I started to feel very uncomfortable. Then at some point I realized my mom had gone. (TELL ME MOM DOESN"T KNOW!)
SO, let's rethink this headline. How about: Ten-year old slutty girl is sold out by mommy to Hollywood pedophile
I did some research and the results were not pretty. Unfortunately, you can't understand the real factors at work here. One hypothesis is that the parents are bringing their kids into child abuse to make it in Hollywood. Curious how no one has picked up on that.
WHAT? Slews of people have said over and over that parents are selling off their children for wealth and power in Hollywood. I am one of them If the mother brought her daughter there, this does not excuse Polanski . There is still a law against rape of ANYONE, no matter what the age. Quit trying to give your idols a pass. Slandering a ten year old is pretty scummy. @3141592653
Good for you for saying parents are selling off their kids. When a case such as this one has actual evidence, it is essential we make the point loud and clear. With a modicum of critical thinking, you should realize this is where the Hollywood child abuse problem starts.
BTW, I am not excusing Polanski.The point of research is accuracy, whether or not it supports your hypothesis. I criticized the 'headline' because it misrepresents the facts. Perhaps I misrepresented the child as 'slutty'. However, she says she was happy to pose on a beach for a magazine, admitting to willingly taking off her clothes, and the top half of her bikini. Supposedly, she did it all the time at home. Being topless in the home might be 'normal' in some families, but she was on a beach, in front of Polanski and his camera, with her mother watching. According to the 'victim', it was okay because the pictures were for a magazine. REALLY? Sorry, in my view, that is 'slutty' behavior.
Regarding slandering, defamation in print is properly termed 'libel.' Nonetheless, one defense to slander/libel is the truth.
Getting to the crucial issue; If she was 'raped,' her mother was complicit. SHE SET IT UP! Point the finger all you want at Polanksi (IMHO he is a scumbag of the highest order), but this story does NOT pass the smell test. I'm of the opinion that allowing her daughter to be abused makes the mother far worse than Polanski. The 'victim' was her child, and her child trusted her.
The sad truth is that it is far easier for the people on voat/pizzagate to pile onto Polanski than acknowledge a much bigger social problem. The same is true of the Weinstein case, where aspiring teenage actresses went to private 'meetings' with him, seemingly unaccompanied. Or maybe they were accompanied, and the truth has never come out.
My book D.C. the Dark City goes into the sewer to expose the quid pro quo, mutually assured blackmail that drives high-level child abuse in Washington DC and elsewhere. I doubt anyone on voat/pizzagate will read it, though they should. It explores the evils of secret societies and power and wealth in ways that will sicken some readers--you will see evil from the inside, and it is worse than you can imagine.

It does not matter what you say, when you are attributing the word slut to a 10 yr. old we know where your real views lie.
