Mrrzy asks: "Should it be up to her whether to pursue it or not? She's, what, 13 in 77 ==> 45, now?"

No. There's more to this case than the fact that he raped the 13-year-old. The case has not been dismissed, and he fled the country and has been avoiding extradition instead of going into LA court to face sentencing or to try to have the case dismissed. He did more than rape the girl; he flouted US law and has continued to flout it for decades. IMO he should be treated like any other fugitive from the law. Throw the book at him, I say!
