Movie director Roman Polanski, arrested for having sex with a minor in 1977
Franco-Polish Film Maker was arrested in the base of an U.S. mandate when entering Switzerland to attend the Zurich Film Festival.
The director was questioned in an open procedure by U.S. authorities 31 years ago. In the age of 76 years, Film Maker was arrested in 1977 in Los Angeles following the complaint lodged by a 13 years old teenager parents. Roman Polanski pleaded guilty to “unlawful sexual intercourse” and spent 47 days in jail. At the end of January 1978, after a meeting between his lawyers and a judge who had hinted he would send back to prison, Polanski took a plane to Europe, where he lives from that date.
