In the shocking interview, Tarantino claims that statutory rape is not rape, and that the teenage girl Polanski had sex with was 'down with it'. In audio first republished by Jezebel, Stern asks Tarantino about comments he made in a previous interview about Polanski, saying: 'I don't consider him a rapist.'
Tarantino told Stern: 'He didn't rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape. That's not quite the same thing, alright? He had sex with a minor. That's not rape.
'To me, when you use the word rape, you're talking about violent, throwing them down, it's one of the most violent crimes in the world. Throwing the word rape around is like throwing the word racist around. It doesn't apply to everything people use it for.
