FINALLY! - Film director Polanski arrested in Zurich

Finally, Roman Polanski has been caught for the 1977 underage sex case in the US. Where was he caught? In Zurich Switzerland where he was to attend the city's international film festival where he was to be given an achievement award at the festival.

"Roman Polanski, who is one of the greatest film directors of all time, would have been honored for his life's work in Zurich today," the film festival said in a statement. "However yesterday, on Saturday, he was taken into custody while attempting to enter Switzerland due to a request by U.S. authorities in connection with an arrest warrant from 1978."

In 1977 the director of "Chinatown" and "The Pianist" was first arrested and charged with having sex with a 13-year-old girl at actor Jack Nicholson's Hollywood home.

Polanski pleaded guilty and spent 42 days in prison undergoing psychiatric tests, but fled in 1978 before being sentenced.

Attempts to settle the case over the years have been unsuccessful because of Polanski's refusal to return to the United States to attend hearings.

Earlier this year, a Los Angeles judge rejected a request to have the charges thrown out, thank god the judge had some sense! Why would we drop the charges???

He may be the world's greatest director, but having sex with a minor is against the law no matter who you are... and is not something that I find even remotely acceptable in any culture.

I hope justice is served!!!!
