Filmmaker Roman Polanski has launched a fresh appeal to drop child sex charges from the 1970s, offering details of what his lawyers called improper dealings by prosecutors and the judge, court documents showed on Friday.

Polanski’s lawyers petitioned a California appellate court, citing secret “communication” between two top officials in the district attorney’s office and the original judge in the case, Laurence Rittenband.

Polanski, 76, is under house arrest in Switzerland and has been held since September on a US arrest warrant for having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl three decades ago. Swiss authorities have yet to rule on whether to grant a US request to extradite him.
