Roman Polanski, the 91-year-old director, will not face trial for a 1973 sexual assault allegation after a civil lawsuit was settled and formally dismissed. The case, filed in June 2023 under a California law extending the time for claims, involved allegations of assaulting a minor. Polanski, who admitted to statutory rape in 1977 and has been a fugitive in France since, denies all allegations against him.
