Polanski Victim Wants Charges Dropped

The woman who was raped by Roman Polanski when she was 13 years old has asked a Los Angeles court to dismiss the charges against the director, who is fighting extradition to the U.S. following his arrest in Zurich last month. Samantha Geimer says she has been barraged with media inquiries since Polanski's arrest, and that since she's publicly forgiven the 'Chinatown' director for his crime, she'd like for the charges to be dropped.

He was charged, he pled guilty, and he ran before sentencing. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can "drop" charges after someone has been convicted.
In essence, she wants to let Polanski skate for his crime because she's fed up with the media attention. Ridiculous. Next thing you know he'll be asking for the best eye creams while he's waiting for extradition.
