The prosecution announced this Friday at midday that actor Gérard Depardieu is the target of a new investigation for sexual assault during filming in 2014 after the complaint filed in January by a former assistant.
Actor Gérard Depardieu, already the subject of a judicial investigation for rape, is the subject of a new investigation for sexual assault during filming in 2014 after the complaint filed in January by a former assistant, the prosecution said on Friday from Paris, confirming information from Courrier de l'Ouest.
"We learn of the existence of this complaint through the press. If the courts are seized, I choose, as a lawyer, not to speak publicly about this complaint, except that Gérard Depardieu firmly contests the accusations against him,” his lawyer, Me Christian Saint-Palais, responded to AFP.
