Roman Polanski

76-year-old director Roman Polanski (Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby) was arrested yesterday in Switzerland, and could face extradition to the United States for having sex with a 13-year-old girl back in 1977.

Polanski was in Switzerland to receive an award at the Zurich Film Festival, but before he could accept it he was apprehended by police at a local airport. Sympathizers for Polanski attest that the arrest was uncalled for, however there has been a warrant for his arrest in countries which abide by U.S. extradition requests since 2005.
