A Polish court rejected Friday the extradition of film director Roman Polanski in a decades-old underage sex case.

Judge Dariusz Mazur called the extradition request "inadmissible."

"The court's assessment is that it would be would be clearly connected with unlawful deprivation of freedom, taking into account time needed to transfer the extradited person to United States, which is probably several months, at least several weeks, possibly in difficult and unsuitable conditions for an elderly person," Mazur ruled.

US officials have been seeking Polanski returned for decades, insisting that he be held to account for illegally having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. He was 43 at the time.
