It's been about 40 years since the Paris-born, Poland-raised filmmaker last stepped foot in the U.S. In 1977 he pleaded guilty to having "unlawful sexual intercourse" with the girl, whom he met at friend and Chinatown costar Jack Nicholson's home. He served 42 days in prison, but later fled to Paris after hearing that the judge in his case planned to reject a plea deal in favour of a stiff prison sentence. In 2009 he was arrested in Switzerland at the request of U.S. authorities, but was released months later after the Swiss declined to take part in an extradition process. The Polish Supreme Court has similarly declined to turn him over to U.S. authorities.
