Legendary Director Roman Polanski is finally going to have to answer to charges on a case that's been dogging him for the past 32 years. Polanski is accused of drugging then raping a 13 year girl back in 1977. Originally charged with six felony counts including child molestation and sodomy, charges were reduced when he plead guilty to unlawful sex with a minor. Polanski fled the country on the eve of his sentencing in 1978. He is currently under house arrest at his Swiss chalet. A hearing is set to convene in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
