LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles County prosecutor Friday urged the judge overseeing Roman Polanski's 1977 child-sex case to order the director to appear in person for sentencing.
The 76-year-old Oscar winner was placed under house arrest last month at a chalet in Switzerland while he awaits a decision regarding whether he will be extradited to the United States in the decades-old case in which he was accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. He had been held in a Swiss jail for nearly two months before he posted bail and was placed under house arrest.
