Gérard Depardieu found guilty of sexually assaulting two women

French actor, 76, convicted of assaulting set dresser and assistant director during film shoot in Paris in 2021

The 76-year-old, who was not in court for the verdict, was convicted of sexually assaulting a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant director during the shooting of the feature film Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters) in Paris in September 2021. The assistant director told the court that a first sexual assault happened during a night shoot in Paris, when she found herself alone with Depardieu at the end of a short road where his dressing room was located as they walked towards an outdoor set. She said the second assault happened at a later date on a set inside a Paris apartment, where Depardieu blocked her against a door and put his two hands on her breasts.
