As part of an investigation opened after the complaint of a young actress, Gérard Depardieu was indicted for "rape" and "sexual assault" on December 16, a source close to the case announced on Tuesday, confirmed by a judicial source.
Facts, which he allegedly committed in the summer of 2018, that the 72-year-old monument of French cinema disputes.
The complainant, who had denounced to the gendarmerie at the end of August 2018 having been raped twice at the star's Parisian home a few days earlier, had obtained in the summer of 2020 that this investigation, first classified by the Paris prosecutor's office, be entrusted to an examining magistrate.
