I think he is an opportunistic predator, like many others in that time period. Worse though, as he didn't have consent.

And I’m not telling you not to think that - there’s a reason the only Polanski film I’ve seen is the Pianist, and I’ve only seen it once.
It’s uncomfortable to engage with his work, because it’s impossible to separate the art from the artist.
Polanski’s life has been ruined ten thousand times over.
That poor girl’s life was ruined.
I hope he didn’t ruin anyone else’s life, though odds are against that.
The entire situation is too sad. Like I said, I feel bad for everyone involved, in a way I don’t for the other people in my definitely-happening movie.
Which is why it’s being directed by Mel Sugartits Gibson.
