In 1977, Polanski was arrested and charged with drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl.
He subsequently pled guilty to the lesser offence of unlawful sex with a minor.
After spending 42 days undergoing psychiatric evaluation in prison in preparation for sentencing, Polanski, who had expected to be put on probation, fled to Paris after learning that the judge planned to reject his plea deal and impose a prison term.
In Europe, Polanski continued to make films, including "Tess" (1979), starring Nastassja Kinski.
