Gérard Depardieu is currently facing trial in Paris for allegations of sexually assaulting two women while filming "Les Volets Verts" in 2021. Charged with groping a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant director, the incidents reportedly involved inappropriate touching and obscene remarks. The actor denies any wrongdoing, asserting in an open letter that he has never abused a woman. This trial marks a notable occasion as it is the first time he faces allegations in court, despite having numerous past accusations that did not result in legal proceedings.
In an open letter published in Le Figaro in Oct. 2023, Depardieu wrote: "Never, but never, have I abused a woman."
Prosecutors allege the incidents included obscene remarks and inappropriate touching, including an incident in which Depardieu allegedly used his legs to trap one of the women before groping her in front of other crew members.
