Apparently, significant portions of the world (or at least, celebrities) think that an adult drugging and then vaginally and anally raping a 13-year-old begging the adult to stop doesn't really count as "rape-rape" and since it was 30 years ago and the offender is an "Artist" you're just a meanie picking on an old man. It's just so awful that he had to live in "exile" for thirty years because he didn't like the jury's verdict and ran away from the law, and good movies (Presumably. Not sure I've seen any of them.) and surely that's enough suffering.
