The trial of the famous actor Gerard Depardieu for sexual assault will begin today in the French capital Paris.
Two women are accusing the 76-year-old actor of acts committed in 2021 on the set of the film "Les Volets verts". In October, the hearing was postponed due to his deteriorating health.
This time, Gérard Depardieu must attend the hearing in this case. He was expected by his judges and accusers on 28 October 2024 at the Paris criminal court, but the judge then only noted his absence, justified by two medical certificates for his deteriorating health. The court granted lawyer Jeremy Assus' request to postpone the hearing.
Five months later, the 76-year-old actor is fit to appear in court, according to a medical report made in February. He is therefore expected to take his place in the courtroom to answer for sexual assaults committed in 2021 on the set of the film Les Volets verts, by Jean Becker, according to the two complainants, Amelie (she does not wish to give her surname), 54, a set decorator, and Sarah (her first name has been changed), 34, a third assistant director.
