Film director Roman Polanski will not be released from prison until Monday at the earliest, the Swiss justice ministry has confirmed.
Polanski was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl after plying her with champagne and a sedative during a modelling shoot in 1977.
Polanski fled the US in February 1978 on the day he was to be sentenced, and has lived in France since then.
He dug his own hole; if he wouldn't have fled back then, he wouldn't be in trouble now. So, off to jail he goes.
