KRAKOW, POLAND - OCTOBER 30: French-Polish film director Roman Polanski is seen during a press conference at the Bonarowski Palace Hotel on October 30, 2015 in Krakow, Poland. The District Court in Krakow has rejected a US request for the Oscar award winning director to be extradited. In 1977 Polanski was accused of six crimes, including the rape of a person under the influence of drugs and molestation of a minor. Polanski, pursuant to an agreement with prosecution, pleaded guilty to having sex with a minor, and the prosecution withdrew the rest of the remaining allegations. Polanski, as part of the agreed penalties, voluntarily went to prison and spent there 42 days on the so-called diagnostic Observation.
