my question would be where does the complaint come from? if it's the parents because they feel their child was victimized and the child does not, then i think there should be no prosecution. we waste too much time and money on victimless crimes in american society. now if the teenager complains, then it is just plain rape and should be prosecuted. note, however, that i'm speaking in general terms and not specifically about the polanski case which is far murkier. regardless, imo it is either rape or it is not. age shouldn't be a factor.
