Poland Will Not Extradite Roman Polanski To The Us

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland will not extradite filmmaker Roman Polanski to the U.S. in an almost 40-year-old case after prosecutors declined to challenge a court ruling against it.Prosecutors in Krakow, who sought the extradition on behalf of the U.S., said Friday they found the court's refusal of extradtion to be "right" and they found no grounds to appeal it.The decision closes the case in Poland and means Polanski is free to reside and work in Poland.The director pleaded guilty in 1977 to one count of statutory rape for having sex with a 13-year-old girl during a photo shoot in Los Angeles.Join the conversation about this story »
