Friends Defend Polanski | Victim Speaks | Video

Friends are coming to the aid of director Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland and may be extradited to the U.S. Hattie Kauffman, from CBS, reports.

In this report you'll see what Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, said in 2003. In recent years, Geimer has forgiven the famous film director and asked L.A. prosecutors to drop charges against Polanski.

Prosecutors have been actively pursuing Polanski since 2005 so they can extradite him to the United States of America to finally face charges and be sentenced for the rape charge from over 30 years ago. Polanski pleaded guilty but fled to France right before his sentencing. He has been a fugitive from justice for over 30 years!
