Polanski not heading Cesar awards jury

Movie director Roman Polanski, wanted by the United States for having sex with a minor almost 40 years ago, has turned down an invitation to head the jury at France's Cesar film awards following an outcry from women's groups.

The 83-year-old's lawyer, Mr Herve Temime, said in a statement that the uproar was "based on false information" and had "deeply saddened" the director and his family.
