VOICEOVER:
A decision in the trial of Gérard Depardieu on sexual assault charges is expected Tuesday.
The actor – a towering figure in French cinema for over half a century – was in court in March, accused of sexually assaulting two women on a movie set
A bon vivant who overcame a speech impediment and a turbulent youth, Depardieu rose to fame in the 1970s and became one of France’s most prolific and acclaimed actors.
In recent years, the actor’s career has been overshadowed by multiple allegations of misconduct. He has been accused by more than 20 women, but so far only a sexual assault case has proceeded to court. Some others were dropped because of a lack of evidence or the statute of limitations.
The four day trial considered accusations the actor groped a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant during filming in 2021 of “Les Volets Verts.”
The Paris public prosecutor has requested an 18-month suspended prison sentence.
