The United States attempted to have the film director Roman Polanski arrested for sex offences when he travelled to Warsaw for the opening of a Jewish museum, a Polish newspaper claimed Thursday. Polish-born Polanski, 81, who also has French nationality, has been sought by the American police since 1977 after he fled the country before he could be sentenced for having sex with a 13-year-old girl. The United States asked the Polish prosector general to hold the director of such films as "Chinatown", "The Pianist" and "Rosemary's Baby" until he could be extradited, according to the Gazeta Wyborcza daily. Polanski was arrested in 2009 in Zurich when he travelled to Switzerland to pick up a prize at a film festival after the United States made a similar request.
