LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- The woman Roman Polanski admitted having sex with when she was 13 in 1977 in Los Angeles is asking the criminal case against him be dropped.
"I have dealt with the difficulties of being a victim, have surmounted and surpassed them with one exception," CNN quoted Samantha Geimer as saying in court papers she filed Monday, requesting the case be dismissed. "Every time this case is brought to the attention of the court, great focus is made of me, my family, my mother and others. That attention is not pleasant to experience and is not worth maintaining over some irrelevant legal nicety, the continuation of the case."
