Seriously, his victim has been petitioning the court for years to have the charges removed. She says the ongoing constant attention is causing her family far more harm than the original crime.Comment

The fact that the victim allegedly forgives him etc is irrelevant - he should face justice in USA and it's a good thing that Switzerland is doing it's job in making sure concept of justice is not an empty sound.Comment

What she appears to be saying is that she, and her family, are suffering from the ongoing attempt to bring him to justice - that the process is hurting her more than the offender.
Unfortunately the victims of sexual assualts often have to go through the pain again in the justice system.
While I agree that it isn't the victim's right to absolve someone of their crimes, a justice system should not completely ignore the victims they are there to protect.
I certainly won't be shedding any tears for him - and hope he gets sent down for many years. But spare a thought for this lady who will probably have to go through all the pain again.Comment
