Film director Roman Polanski who had made such films as “The Pianist”, “Oliver Twist”, “Frantic”, “Rosemary’s Baby”, “The Ninth Gate”, and plenty of more is on the fight to get molestation charges dropped in the United States. Today, Polanski’s attorney’s submitted the film made for HBO titled “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired” to the Los Angeles Superior Court part of a complaint citing “extraordinary new evidence” that surfaced with the documentary.

Polanski, the complaint charges, “was and continues to be the victim of repeated, unlawful and unethical misconduct on the part of the L.A. District Attorney’s Office and L.A. Superior Court.”

A hearing has been set for Jan 21st.

Polanski who is a French citizen fled to France before being sentenced for molesting a 13 year old girl named Samantha Geimer which happened way back in 1977. He isn’t allowed to return to the United States, if he enters our country, he will be arrested. He is still considered a fugitive at large to this day. Samantha Geimer appeared in the “Wanted and Desired” documentary and she is the one that requested Polanski’s charges to be dropped in the film.  

Polanski wants the charges dropped in the U.S. so he can move back here to make movies in Hollywood.

Lets hope they do the smart thing by NOT dropping his charges and he stays in France until he dies. Who knows what teenage girl he’ll be after next.
