Gérard Depardieu Faces 18-Month Suspended Sentence On Sexual Assault Charges

The Paris prosecutor’s office has requested an 18-month suspended prison sentence and a €20,000 ($21,500) fine for actor Gérard Depardieu following his sexual assault trial this week related to events on a 2021 film shoot. Depardieu could stand trial a second time in the coming months in relation to rape allegations by actress Charlotte Arnould, dating back to 2018, following a request by the Paris Prosecutor’s Office over the summer which is making it ways through the judicial system. In this week’s court hearing, the set dresser, referred to simply as Amélie, recounted how the actor had seized her with his legs and started kneading her up to the breasts, and growled: “Come touch my big parasol, I’m going to shove it up your pussy.”
