From Roman Polanski's Wikipedia:

In 1979, Polanski gave a controversial interview with novelist Martin Amis in which, discussing the case, he said "If I had killed somebody, it wouldn't have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But ... fucking, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to fuck young girls. Juries want to fuck young girls. Everyone wants to fuck young girls!"

Maybe they all are trying to justify being actual real life monsters by simply thinking that everyone are secretly like they are and just refuse to admit it?
