A new accusation against Gérard Depardieu. A woman filed a complaint in January against the actor for sexual assault during filming in Doué-en-Anjou (Maine-et-Loire) in March 2014, according to the complaint that AFP was able to consult on Thursday February 15 and which was revealed by The Western Mail. Questioned by the regional newspaper, the young woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, denounces in particular “his hands all over (his) body” and the “indecent words” of the actor on the set.

The complaint was filed on January 9 in a Paris police station for “sexual assault on a vulnerable person by a person abusing the authority of their position”. The facts denounced date back to March 2014, according to the document. According to The Western Mailthe facts denounced by this woman, a former assistant then aged 24, would have taken place “during the filming of the film The Magician and the Siamesedirected by Jean-Pierre Mocky”.

Gérard Depardieu, 75, was indicted in December 2020 for rape and sexual assault after a complaint from the actress, Charlotte Arnould, who denounced two rapes at the actor’s Parisian home at the end of August 2018. The complaint by actress Hélène Darras, who accused Gérard Depardieu of having sexually assaulted her during a film shoot in 2007, was filed at the end of December for prescription. In December 2023, Spanish journalist and writer Ruth Baza also filed a complaint for rape in Spain against the actor, for acts dating back to 1995 in Paris.
