PARIS -- A French lawyer for director Roman Polanski, imprisoned in Switzerland, says a new bail offer will be filed Monday and it will be a "very, very significant" cash amount.

Swiss authorities rejected an offer Friday, considering the 76-year-old filmmaker awaiting a decision on extradition to the United States a high flight risk. They noted it was not a cash offer.

Herve Temime told France-Info radio Sunday the latest offer is in cash. He wouldn't say how much. He said Polanski would accept the extradition decision "whatever it is" and assured his client would never behave "like a fugitive."

Polanski, arrested Sept. 26, is wanted in the U.S. for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in Los Angeles in 1977. Polanski fled the U.S. before sentencing.

come on guys at least get it right, the guy is a felon, because he has been convicted of the crime, and bolted before he could be sentanced. so he has already jumped bail and while a fugitive tried to get a judge to have the charges droped. as much as it might serve the victim to have this go away it would have served her better had he "maned" up and served his time all those years ago instead of staying on the run for 30 + years

I see the convicted child rapist is trying to buy his way out of prison. He should just go back to California, serve his time and that will be the end of that.
