The woman at the centre of Roman Polanski's sex with a minor case has said that she is satisfied with Switzerland's decision not to extradite him to the US.
Samantha Geimer, now in her 40s, has long asked for the case against the filmmaker to be dropped.
"I am satisfied with this decision and I hope that the district attorney will now close the case and get it over once and for all," Geimer told French radio station Europe 1.
Polanski fled the US before sentencing in 1978 after pleading guilty to the charge of having sex with an underage girl the year before.
The director has now been released from house arrest. Source | | | | Last edited: by Ardos |

Well I thought that nothing could astonish me anymore on those forums... but there... 
 I am curious, what part of that astonishes you?  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
