Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Dominique Boutonnat, the president of the National Film Board, France’s most powerful film institution, has received a three-year prison sentence, including two suspended, over sexual assault charges.
Boutonnat has stepped down from the CNC in the wake of the verdict on June 28 and is being replaced by Olivier Henrard, Variety has confirmed.
The judge’s ruling appears stronger than the initial recommandation of the Paris prosecutor who had requested a three-year suspended prison sentence on June 14.
Boutonnat is expected to live under house arrest with an electronic bracelet for one year, according to local reports. Boutonnat was indicted in February 2021 for the alleged sexual assault of his then 19-year-old godson in August 2020, during a vacation in Greece.
