Roman Polanski

The film director was released from prison after serving 42 days of an in-prison psychiatric evaluation having entered into a plea bargain on six charges by pleading guilty to one of unlawful sexual intercourse, committed with a 13 year old at the home of Jack Nicholson whom he knew was on a skiing trip although his victim had understood she was going there to meet him. Four days after his release and before sentencing he fled from the United States and has lived mainly in France where, as a French citizen, he cannot be extradited. As he was never sentenced all six charges are still pending against him in the US.

At the request of US authorities in 2009 he was taken into Swiss custody at Zurich airport as he travelled to accept a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich film festival. After being granted house arrest he was released from that requirement in 2010 when the Swiss Justice Minister denied the US extradition request on the grounds that full testimony regarding the original sentencing requirement had not been produced, meaning that it was possible for the 42 day psychiatric assessment to have been intended to constitute a suitable sentence for unlawful sex with a 13 year old—which he had therefore already served.
