Roman Polanski will no longer go on trial in Los Angeles next year over the alleged rape of a minor in 1973, French news agency AFP reports.
The director’s lawyer, Alexander Rufus-Isaacs, told the AFP on Tuesday that the case was “settled in the summer to the parties’ mutual satisfaction and has now been formally dismissed.” Polanski was set to face trial in August 2025.
Gloria Allred, the lawyer of the anonymous plaintiff, also confirmed to the AFP that “a settlement of claims was agreed to by the parties to their mutual satisfaction.”
