Prosecutor Seeks Suspended Sentence for Gérard Depardieu in Sexual Assault Case

The Paris court will deliver its verdict on May 13, 2025, following charges of sexual misconduct against two women during the 2021 filming of 'Les Volets verts.'

The prosecutor has requested an 18-month suspended prison sentence, a €20,000 fine, mandatory psychological treatment, and registration in the sexual offenders' database for Gérard Depardieu.
Depardieu faces accusations from two women alleging non-consensual touching of their breasts and buttocks during the filming of 'Les Volets verts' in 2021.
The actor denies the allegations, claiming his actions were misinterpreted and that he does not recall the incidents as described by the accusers.
Witness testimonies during the trial presented conflicting accounts, with some corroborating the accusations and others defending Depardieu's behavior.
The trial has drawn significant attention, highlighting broader societal discussions on generational divides, workplace conduct, and accountability in the French film industry.
