Roman Polanski, the French-Polish director known for 'The Pianist,' will not face trial for a 1973 alleged sexual assault of a minor, as the case has been settled. The civil suit, filed last year just before a California law's expiration, claimed Polanski gave a teenager tequila, then sexually assaulted her after she became dizzy. The settlement was reached to the parties' mutual satisfaction and has been formally dismissed. Polanski previously fled the US after admitting to the statutory rape of a 13-year-old in 1977 and remains a controversial figure in the film industry. Despite his creative acclaim, allegations of sexual misconduct have continued to spur public debate about his legacy. This recent case further highlights the complexities surrounding historical allegations and the pursuit of justice.
