Roman Polanski Must Return To The States For Sentencing

This has been a long time coming!

A judge ruled this Friday that director Roman Polanski, accused of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl in 1978, must return to the U.S. so as to not "manipulate the justice system" any further.

Polanski spent over 60 days in a Swiss jail before being transferred to house arrest in early December.

The director's attorneys, as well as an attorney for the victim, have argued Polanski should be sentenced absentia.

While the judge has ruled Polanski must appear in a Los Angeles courtroom, his decision will likely be appealed.
