Director Roman Polanski, who has been sought by the American police since 1978 after fleeing the country before he could be sentenced for having sex with a 13-year-old girl, has been released after a recent questioning in Poland.

Despite the horrific case, Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, now 51, reportedly stated that she's forgiven "The Pianist" director so that she can move on, according to the media outlet AFP.

"My family never asked that Polanski be punished. We just wanted the legal machine to stop," stated Geimer, now a mother of three.

Roman Polanski's case has made headlines once again after the 81-year-old's appearance at the opening of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews was televised this week. The U.S. reportedly attempted to have him arrested for sex offenses when he traveled to Warsaw for the opening, the Polish government confirmed on Thursday.

"Roman Polanski said he would comply with all requests made by prosecutors in this case and provided his address," Police justice ministry spokesman Mateusz Martyniuk told the media outlet.

Martyniuk continued, "Prosecutors therefore decided not to arrest him in connection with a possible US extradition request."

Martyniuk stated that Roman Polanski's extradition was still possible, but as the U.S had not yet forwarded an extradition request, he is " a free citizen and is free to travel," according to BBC News.

Roman Polanski is reportedly currently directing a stage show in Paris called "The Vampires' Ball," but stated that he wants to shoot a film on location in Poland on the condition he will not face extradition.

Polanski had previously expressed regret regarding his actions back in 2011 during a interview that was aired on Swiss TV.

"I have regretted it for 33 years, of course I regret it," stated the Oscar-winning director.
