Film director Polanski

ZURICH:Its the incidance of 1970 when film director polanski did unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl .At that time he was young and was making career in film industry but now at the age of 76 ,he is facing the difficulties in life due to that incident,This is a picture of international fame film director Polanski of May 20, 2007 waving to the ceowd upon his arrival for a screening of the 60th Cannes International Film Festival in Cannes, southern France. Swiss police detained Oscar winning film director Roman Polanski on a US warrant over three-decade-old charges of unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl, a film festival's organisers said Sunday.The controversial 76-year-old director was arrested on Saturday after he arrived to receive a prize at the Zurich film festival, .The organisers said they were 'shocked and saddened' by the arrest and would indefinitely postpone awarding the prize, which he was to receive Sunday in honour of his film career.polanski, famed for films such as 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'Chinatown,' fled the United States in 1978 before being sentenced for his guilty plea to a charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.The woman named as the victim in the 1970s case had joined defense lawyers in urging the dismissal of the case against Polanski.The challenge was made after the allegation of misconduct emerged in a documentary released last year 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.'Judge Peter Espinoza said this year that while he believed there had been 'substantial misconduct' in the case, Polanski's attempts to dismiss the charges would not be heard as long as he remained a fugitive from justice.The charges against him were not dropped and Polanski never again set foot in the United States, not even to receive the 2003 Oscar awarded him for best director for 'The Pianist.'He was out of the country when his second wife, actress Sharon Tate, was murdered by members of the 'Manson family' led by cult leader Charles Manson in Los Angeles in 1969.So all this goes badluck for Polanski,
