Roman Polanski Requests Dismissal of Sex Charge

The lawyers said the now-43-year-old victim, who never wanted Polanski to go to prison, should have the final say. They said the law requires the courts to consider a victim's wishes.

The woman's "wishes have remained unchanged, and this court has the discretion to finally conclude this case without any further harm" to the victim or her family, the motion stated.
