Hey, I'm not even familiar with Polanski's work TBQH. What he did was terrible, but I think the Charles Manson thing probably played a role into people feeling sorry for him. This also happened awhile back and people may not have realized how bad it was (recency effect). Also, have you ever had a superior who's just a complete dbag, but because they're good workers or knowledgeable, the corporation get a free pass (ie: Ghomeshi)? Explains why people still support these people. At the end of the day, yes, they're still total sleezebags.
