Poland's Supreme Court has upheld its refusal to extradite Roman Polanski to America if he enters the country.

The Rosemary's Baby director, who lives in Paris, is wanted in the US over historic child sex conviction. He pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977 and served 42 days in prison after accepting a plea bargain. Polanski, 83, fled the US for Britain and then France a year later over fears the judge hearing his case could overrule the plea bargain and he could be imprisoned again.

Polanski has a flat in Krakow, in Poland, and holds Polish and French citizenship. The US made an extradition request after he was spotted in Warsaw in 2014.
