But the director of films including Rosemary's Baby , Chinatown and The Pianist fled from US justice on the eve of his sentencing the following year after serving 42 days in prison. He won an Oscar for The Pianist in 2002 but did not collect his best director prize.

The year after he fled he gave an interview to the novelist Martin Amis in which he said: “If I had killed somebody, it wouldn't have had so much appeal to the press, you see? “But… f***ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f*** young girls. Juries want to f*** young girls. Everyone wants to f*** young girls!"

The film maker, married to French actress and singer Emmanuelle Seigner, remains a fugitive and lives in France, avoiding travel to countries that might extradite him.

He was re–arrested in Switzerland in 2009, on his way to the festival, but attempts to extradite him failed and he was freed on a legal technicality.
