So did anyone else know the story about Roman Polanski...

A friend of mine from LA (I like to say that when prefacing stories about celebrities so that you know this story is legit. ). Anyway, he just told me this story about how Roman Polanski is wanted in the US for raping a 14 year old girl in Jack Nicholson's house back in the '70s. So he lives in France and any movies he directs are done there. Also he doesn't go to the UK because he's afraid they will accept an extradition from the US (They already tried to get France to arrest him and extradite him but they wouldn't do it.) Aparently the woman who he raped has forgiven him even and people have tried to get the US to let him come back but no such luck.

Anyways, he says he thinks it's a somewhat well known story. I never knew though. And now that I look, he hasn't directed many movies set in the US. 30 minutes ago, I knew so little about Roman Polanski. Crazy story.
