Roman Polanski
LOS ANGELES
Roman Polanski is finding out that prosecutors still want to go after him. They say Polanski's attempt to have a 31-year-old rape charge against him dismissed should be denied outright.

But, Polanski would risk getting arrested if he comes back to the U.S. He ran away to Europe in 1977 after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor.
