Lots of people have not admitted to their crimes
Maybe so. I am not defending Polanski for a moment. I am just being a pedantic pain in the ass by pointing out that it is not strictly correct to call him a "self confessed rapist". He is (I believe) a rapist, and he is a self-confessed 'person who had sex with an underage girl'.
He said on French television when the story broke: 'It was an error yes, but not a crime, not even a serious mistake.
'Let anyone who has not committed this kind of mistake cast the first stone - among all the people watching this tonight, who among them has not done something like this at least once?'
Quite a few I would imagine.
Much would seem to depend on how we understand the words something like this. But I think a moderate hail of stones might reasonably be expected, yes. 
To be fair I'd like to throw the first one...
Actually no.
I'll throw the first hundred 
But I think a moderate hail of stones might reasonably be expected, yes.
Unless almost everyone in France has done something like that? 
Perhaps the poster meant : "let he who has never found a Thai boy attractive, cast the first stone".
That should save Fred Mitterrand's neck.
lol at griz.
