Roman Polanski hearing on 6 January

MUMBAI: A Los Angeles judge has scheduled hearing in the Roman Polanski‘s criminal case on Wednesday.

It‘s the first time the 30-year-old sex case will be back in Court since a state appeals court rejected Polanski‘s bid to have it dismissed last month.

Polanski who was arrested late September on a fugitive warrant is under house arrest at his Swiss chalet.

Swiss authorities have not yet ruled on whether to extradite Polanski to Los Angeles. Polanski fled the US in 1978 on the eve of sentencing after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex with a minor in 1977.
