I am aware he is running form a statutory rape charge (don't have that crime here, there is in fact a whole seperate law giving rise to the less elegant charge of Intercourse with a girl under the age of 16 or Intercourse with a girl under the age of 14). I forget how old the girl was in Mr Polabkski's case.
I think she was fifteen. Also, some of the laws on ages statutory rape might vary state to state... I doubt it, but I'm not absolutely certain. I do know that in California, if both people are under 18 and within two years of age, it's not outlawed. Any older though-- say one is 19 and one is 17, it is illegal. Again, I'm not sure what the bottom of that margin is; can a 14 year old have legal sex with a 12 year old? I couldn't say I knew. But that isn't brought up as much.
"klu klux Academy"
Technically, it's Ku Klux. As to the black actors being passed over-- I'd actually hold more blame for that against the Emmy awards and television rather than film. But in all places of media... progress is regrettably slow. Such is one of the many problems in the world.
