Polanksi victim urges end to case
The victim at the centre of the statutory rape case involving film-maker Roman Polanksi in 1977 has asked a US court to drop charges against him.

Samantha Geimer said the continued publication of details "causes harm to me, my husband and children".

She has also called the court's insistence that Polanksi appear in person for the dismissal hearing on 21 January "a cruel joke".

Polanski has never returned to the US to face charges since fleeing in 1978.

1. He drugged her and then sodomized her when she was 13....

and never faced the consequences. There aint no doubt the judge in the case was a scumbag--- but by Polanski's own admission--- he committed the crime and fled the US illegally.

Fuck Polanski and may he burn in hell with Manson.

3. The article is wrong. It was not "statutory rape" but "rape"

He drugged her and raped her after she said no.
