This weekend, more than 30 years after fleeing the US and pleading guilty in 1978 for having unlawful sexual relations with a 13-year old girl, director Roman Polanski was arrested by Swiss police. The 76-year old director, known for his work on such films as Chinatown and Rosemary’s Baby among others, was apprehended by the Swiss Justice Ministry as he arrived Saturday at the Zurich Film Festival and could possibly face extradition to the US. Since 2005, US authorities have been seeking Polanski’s arrest for the 1977 sexual offense against his victim, Samantha Geimer, who went public with her identity long ago. Over the years, Polanski has petitioned to have his case dismissed and Geimer agrees, saying she wants the case to be over. She previously sued Polanski and was granted an undisclosed settlement amount. Polanski will remain in Zurich until the extradition proceedings are over and the US has 60 days to file a formal request for his transfer.
