I'm quite sure Samantha regrets the mistake of coming out in 1997 but her present notoriety is largely her own undoing. She relinquished her "right to be forgotten."
For a thorough treatment of the case I suggest reading Gerald Posner's Polanski's Next Escape and related articles linked on the dailybeast site.
In the end, this is not something that Hillary or Barry can touch. In addition to lock-stepping seniors into happy euthanasia camps, they can't take on a label of letting old geezers get away with raping teenagers.
This will run its course. The Superior Court in California will have to drop the case for lack of something, and that will be that. Unfortunately for Polanski, since he has run from sentencing before, he probably won't be allowed free on bond. So he will do some time until it all winds through the system...starting now, I presume. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
