Our current culture has an almost unnerving ability to forget.

Add Roman Polanski to that list. The guy received a standing ovation when he won the Academy Award for The Pianist and couldn't attend because he's been living in France to avoid jail time. And it's not that these people continue to have careers, they continue to be worshiped. Hell, look at how quickly people lose their minds when Tyson's crimes get brought up. Yet the people who worship these celebrities refuse to acknowledge their roles in perpetuating rape culture.
