Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it appears from the articles that Ford befriended Polanski many years after the rape occurred.
It's one thing to have a friend accused of a crime and stand by that friend.
It's quite another to befriend someone who raped an underaged girl, got convicted AFTER PLEADING GUILTY, and fled to avoid sentencing.
There is no question as to Polanski's guilt. There is no evidence that Polanski has reformed.
By befriending him, Ford is sending a message that he doesn't think child rape is a big deal. That he doesn't factor a person's actions or their morality into the question of whether to befriend them. That says a lot about Ford's character. And it isn't good.
