Gérard Depardieu Faces Trial Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations

The French actor denies accusations from two women during a 2021 film shoot, with court proceedings beginning in Paris.

Depardieu is accused of sexual harassment and inappropriate touching by two women during the filming of 'Les volets verts' in 2021.
The trial, delayed from October 2024 due to Depardieu's health issues, began on March 24, 2025, in Paris.
If convicted, the 76-year-old actor could face up to five years in prison and a €75,000 fine.
Depardieu's defense lawyer claims the allegations are fabricated and plans to present witnesses to support the actor's case.
Protesters gathered outside the courthouse to support the plaintiffs, reflecting broader calls for accountability in sexual violence cases.
