Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent After a lengthy investigation, Paris prosecutors have requested that Gerard Depardieu stand trial over allegations of rape by digital penetration and sexual assault made by actor Charlotte Arnould.
In a statement sent to Variety today, the Paris Prosecutors’ Office said that it has “requested the referral of Gerard Depardieu to the departmental criminal court to be tried for rape by digital penetration and sexual assault on Aug.
7 and 13, 2018, to the detriment of Charlotte Arnould, born in November 1995.” The Prosecutors’ Office added that “it is now up to the investigating judge to decide on the direction to be given to the procedure.” The case stems from a complaint filed in August 2018 by Arnould, an actor and dancer whose parents are old friends of Depardieu.
It was initially dropped in 2019 following a lack of characterized evidence, but was reopened in 2020 after Arnould filed a civil complaint with the Paris investigating judge.
