A judge in Los Angeles has refused to end a four-decade-old sexual assault case against director Roman Polanski despite the victim’s plea. The director served 42 days in prison. The ruling comes after a request from Samantha Geimer, who urged the judge to end a “40-year sentence” on both her and the perpetrator. Polanski served time in prison after a plea bargain but later left the United States, fearing a longer sentence in the event the agreement was overruled. The judge ruled against Polanski's requests, claiming the director cannot cut deals with U.S. courts to return to the country while abroad and without serving more jail time, Reuters reported.
