Jamie Foxx threatens Roman Polanski

Jamie Foxx has said that convicted sex offender and film director Roman Polanski would "be missing" if he had touched his daughter.

The Soloist actor verbally attacked Polanski, who is currently facing extradition to the US after he fled the country in 1978 when he was convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

Foxx told Parade magazine: "If it had been my daughter who was barely a teenager - my daughter is 15 - Roman Polanski would be missing... period. It wouldn't even get to the court case."

He continued: "But, that's me and I wouldn't want anyone else to follow that because you should let the justice system work it out."

Foxx added: "On the other hand, I don't know Roman Polanski, but maybe if I had a relationship with him my answer would be different. I just think this whole issue is bigger than Roman Polanski."
