Roman Polanski

Movie director Roman Polanski, photographed here at the European Film Awards in Rome in 2002, is at the center of a legal tug-of-war after Swiss police arrested him Sept. 26, 2009, on an international warrant as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award from a film festival. He is wanted in the United States for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.
