Roman Polanski, a fugitive from US justice, has had his bid to dismiss his rape case challenged.
Film director Roman Polanski's bid to have a 31-year-old rape charge against him dismissed has been challenged by prosecutors in documents that included the most graphic account yet of his sexual activity with a 13-year-old girl.
Prosecutors said on Tuesday Polanski's motion should be denied outright, adding his claims of judicial misconduct cannot be heard in court unless he returns to the United States.
As a fugitive, Polanski would risk arrest if he entered the country.
He fled in 1977 after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. He has lived in self-imposed exile in France since then.
His lawyers have suggested the matter can be argued without his presence.
