WITH Roman Polanski under house arrest in Switzerland, lawyers in his 32-year-old sex case gathered in a Los Angeles court yesterday to discuss future legal moves that could resolve the marathon prosecution.
The hearing is described as a status conference before Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza, but an appellate court has offered advice on bringing the matter to a long-sought conclusion.
The film director pleaded guilty to one count of sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
The California 2nd District Court of Appeal refused to dismiss the case last month, but made suggestions about how the case could be resolved.
Polanski could file a motion to be sentenced in absentia, or drop his extradition fight, return to the US and be sentenced in person, most likely not resulting in additional jail time.
