Um, dude, let me remind you of the First Rule Of Holes: When you find yourself in one, stop digging.
One reason people aren't bringing that aspect of the case up much is that it is extremely difficult to bring it up in a way that doesn't sound like making excuses for what Polanski did. Even saying "Look, I'm not making the 'she was asking for it' case OR letting Polanski off" doesn't help.
The main reason, of course, is that it is utterly irrelevant to the fact that Polanski drugged and raped a teenage girl and evaded justice for 31 years.
