Verdict due Tuesday in Depardieu sexual assault trial

  • The Paris Criminal Court is scheduled to announce its decision at 10:00 am Tuesday regarding the case accusing actor Gerard Depardieu of sexual assault.
  • The trial stems from accusations by two women of sexual assault during 2021 filming of "Les Volets Verts," with roughly 20 women alleging improper behavior.
  • In March, Laurent Guy, the chief prosecutor, called for Depardieu to receive an 18-month suspended jail term, characterizing the alleged assaults as deliberate, while the actor denied any inappropriate contact and criticized the #MeToo movement.
  • Depardieu, aged 76, a star since the 1980s with over 200 screen credits, has been supported by friends and family amid courtroom tension and accusations of defense sexism.
  • The verdict may impact public debate on abuse in the entertainment industry, highlighted by nearly 200 French lawyers condemning courtroom sexism and a separate indictment for rape.
