As for him being screwed up from his wifes death, that is no excuse and I dont buy it. He was known to have had affairs with other women and didnt see her that often at the time she was murdered. But thats not the point and doesnt prove anything. But Polanki directed some of his greatest films like Chinatown after he murder and before he raped this girl. He made a conscious decision to take advantage of a 13 year old, sexually. He was a grown man then, hes a grown man now. I dont care if he the nicest guy in the world today. He never did his time for that. He ran and is still trying to get away with not facing his own criminal sentencing...I think Charlie Manson is eligable for parole soon. Should have to go in front of the board or should they just send him to France so he can enjoy life cause after all those murders were 30+ years ago now, and im sure hes a nice lad now.
