Gérard Depardieu in Police Custody Regarding Sexual-Assault Allegations
Under questioning about two on-set sexual-assault allegations.
French actor Gérard Depardieu is in police custody in Paris, being questioned about allegations of sexual assault, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported on April 29. Depardieu turned himself in for questioning about two alleged assaults on film sets. One of the alleged assaults occurred in 2022 on the set of The Green Shutters, and the other was on 2015’s The Magician and the Siamese, according to Variety. Depardieu is still facing a 2018 accusation of rape by actress Charlotte Arnould, while another case filed by actress Hélène Darras was dropped in January 2024 due to the statute of limitations on the alleged 2007 assault. In 2013, Médiapart published an open letter by 13 women accusing Depardieu of sexual violence. Depardieu has denied all of these allegations.
