A Swiss judge announced Roman Polanski would be released on bail and put on house arrest at his Alpine chalet.
The ministry said it was still deciding whether to extradite the Polish-born director to the United States to face rape charges stemming from a 1977 incident involving a 13 year-old girl. He has been living in France since 1978.
Polanski's bail has been set at $4.5 million and will require him to wear an ankle bracelet and to surrender his identity papers.
The Swiss are expected to decide whether to extradite Polanski in a couple of weeks and should he be ordered for extradition to the US, the decision will be subject to appeals.

Thank God!! This has been the most outrageous miscarriage of justice I have ever seen.
This so called victim, who now weighs about 300 pounds and is probably in her 50s, was at the premiere of his movie, "Wanted and Desired" and few years ago -- all dressed up, smiling, with her family and wanting to give interviews. The unattractive overweight weirdo now thinks she a celebrity.
My mom grew up in southern California back in the 70s and knew of this girl. She was the biggest slut in town.
Granted, Polanski used terrible, TERRIBLE judgment. He has suffered enough for his involvement with this trash.
If you take the money California has already spent on this case, you could probably vaccinate every child in the state again the H1N1 flu. What a waste!!!
i think we can let him go now
why put him in a luxurious chalet in Gsaad? Just let him go, it is enough now
Send him to prison. See how HE likes getting raped.
kidding me ? if he is guilty why cans money save him from jail? unfair
He should be hung by the balls and I'm a lib.
@2:54, what's it like in a mental institution?
Liberals and conservatives want this rapist pedophile locked up. He's a sick little gnome (very short dude.)
European freaks who defend this criminal have been psycho, and definitely makes you never want to go to Europe.
I agree with 2:54.What a waste of time and money.That "innocent' girl was at the premier and seemed she didn't have a care in the world,for somene that had such a tramatic rape.I hate to say it but Europeans have a different outlook on sex then we do and does anyone remember the 70s? It was sex everwhere.Rape my ass
The Polanski nutjob who keeps posting is high-larious. So you see a grown woman decades after the crime for a minute on tv and you decide she is carefree? No one could be this stupid and evil.
This wasn't sex. This was rape. He admitted to the crime. Get over it. That pedophile midget should be locked up once and for all.
Ha ha, what great travel advertising for Europe.
Come to Europe, we don't have any of those pesky hang-ups about rape and pedophilia.
Who really knows what happened. Let him go!! The girl probably thought she'd be a big movie star if she hung out with Polanske. Also, what type of momther leaves her teenage daughter alone with a 40 year old man. She should be charged with child abuse
I saw a picture of this women in a newspaper a while back. How could anyone be accused of forcing themselves on her. I wouldn't touch her with a 10 foot pole.He should file charges against her.
No excuses, but where was her mother??
I think she was some type of actress in the 70s. I wonder if they had this all planned out for the publicity.
No normal mother would drop off a 13 year old for an afternoon with a man in his 40s. I hate the term "white trash," but if the shoe fits.
LE HIM GO! He just wanted to have sex!!!
P.S. She wanted it too, she obviously exadurate, and probably wants to extort money from him. The usual story,pfff!!!!
