On August 14, the Paris prosecutor’s office requested that actor Gérard Depardieu be referred to a criminal court for the rape of actress Charlotte Arnould. An investigating judge must decide on the next steps in the proceedings.
Will Gérard Depardieu be tried for rape and sexual assault? The Paris prosecutor’s office is requesting a trial before a criminal court. In 2018, in his Parisian mansion, Gérard Depardieu received the young actress Charlotte Arnould. He had known her since childhood, because her father was a long-time friend. Aged 22 at the time of the events, Charlotte Arnould says she suffered digital penetration and touching.
On Instagram, Thursday August 22, Charlotte Arnould said: “very moved” by the announcement of the prosecution. Gérard Depardieu and his lawyers have not reacted. A year ago, the actor contested Charlotte Arnould’s version in a column in Figarowithout ever mentioning his name. The investigating judge in charge of the case must decide whether to hold a trial. In October, Gérard Depardieu must already appear for other sexual assaults on two women during the filming of the film The Green Shutters.
