Roman Polanski reached a settlement in a civil suit regarding an alleged 1973 sexual assault of a minor, leading to the dismissal of the case.
The lawsuit asserted that Polanski provided tequila to a then-teenager, later leading her to his home where she alleged he sexually assaulted her, causing tremendous suffering.
Polanski's lawyer stated that the parties reached a mutual satisfaction regarding the settlement, confirming that all claims were resolved amicably.
The civil suit was filed shortly before the expiration of a California law allowing extended claims for sexual crimes, highlighting the complexities of bringing historical allegations to court.
