Gerard Depardieu Sexual Assault Trial Postponed to March 2025
Gerard Depardieu has asked for a postponement to his sexual assault trial that was set to begin in Paris on Monday, citing health reasons.
Depardieu is being tried on two alleged sexual assaults, which date back to the filming of Jean Becker’s “The Green Shutters” (“Les volets verts”) in the South of France in August and September 2021. Based on the charges, Depardieu, long considered a mascot of France’s cinematic history who’s starred in over 150 films, including classics such as Jean-Paul Rappeneau’s “Cyrano de Bergerac,” risks five years of imprisonment and a fine of 75,000 euros. In August, the Paris public prosecutor’s office requested in a final indictment that Depardieu be referred to the departmental criminal court to stand trial for rape by digital penetration and sexual assault on Aug. 7 and 13, 2018.
