Samantha Geimer wants statutory rape charges against Roman Polanski first filed in 1977 and still be pursued decades later ended.Polanski fled the U.S. to avoid the charges. Now Samantha Geimer says continual discussion of the details of her case decades later by prosecutors “causes harm to me, my husband and children”.
Roman Polanksi had sought dismissal of her charges on January 21, but the court said he needs to appear in person. Geimer says that’s a “a cruel joke”. Polanski fled the U.S. in 1978 and hasn’t been in the country since. In 2002 he won the Oscar for The Pianist.
Greimer, now 45, reportedly told the court in a written statement:
“If Polanski cannot stand before the court to make this request, I, as the victim, can and I, as the victim do. I have urged that this matter come to a formal legal end. I have urged that the district attorney and the court dismiss these charges.”
