Plenty of celebrities issued crazy statements in their efforts to defend director and rapist Roman Polanski but none went as far as author Gore Vidal did when he labeled Polanski's victim a "young hooker."
In an Oct. 28 interview with The Atlantic's John Meroney about a variety of topics, Vidal claimed he didn't "give a f---" about the Polanski case. "Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she's been taken advantage of?"

If she’s a hooker, how come Polanski didn’t pay?

well, the story is totally different now from what it was then.Whatever polanski told you in the steam room is hear-say.....read the court testimony,this man ran because he knew, what he did was wrong.
I sincerely hope, it was the only time but I imagine he has worked his way across europe raping children.

Don’t really care. Polanski is a POS, but the girl, who is now a middle aged woman, doesn’t want him prosecuted, so I’m fine with her being slandered. She doesn’t want to uphold her duty to Americans? Fine, live with it.

Vidal should be given the “Oscar Wilde” award for a life of hedonism.

He was prosecuted. He pled guilty. He just hasn’t served his time.
And her life is made miserable everytime it comes up in the press. If he had just served his time back in the 70’s, it would be part of her past. But he didn’t. So she has to deal with the press time after time.
So for her wanting all of that to go away, you are fine with her being slandered.

William F Buckley knew how to deal with people like Vidal.

That reward should be reserved for those who know how to write.
