Roman Polanski's Victim ‘Very Please' About Rejected Extradition

Roman Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, says she is "very please" a Polish court rejected a U.S. extradition request for the director. 

"I believe they did the right thing and made the right decision given all the facts," she told NBC News in an exclusive interview. "Since I'm well aware of how long this has been going on, I'm very pleased and happy."

Geimer said the 40-year saga has been horrible for her and her family. She even acknowledges how much it has impacted Polanski and his loved ones, even if she doesn't feel like she knows him "personally" so many years later. 

Polanski was accused of plying his then-13-year-old victim with champagne and drugs at a Los Angeles photo shoot, taking topless photos and having sex with her. He pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in 1977 and served 42 days in prison.
