Gerard Depardieu, the 76-year-old French cinema icon, awaits a verdict from a Paris court in his sexual assault trial, amidst a backdrop influenced by the #MeToo movement. The trial revolves around allegations from a set dresser and an assistant director concerning assaults during the filming of "Les Volets Verts" in 2021. As Cannes Film Festival approaches, this case has stirred public interest. Prosecutor Laurent Guy has suggested an 18-month suspended sentence for Depardieu, demanding psychological treatment and a place on the sex offender registry, which reflects the serious nature of the accusations.
Lead prosecutor Laurent Guy recommended an 18-month suspended jail sentence for Gerard Depardieu, asserting that the reported assaults were "intentional. He should also undergo psychological treatment."
Plaintiff Amelie described Depardieu's on-set behavior, likening it to that of a "wild animal" and recalling his boast about giving women orgasms without touching them.
