The French actor Gérard Depardieu would have been summoned this morning to be placed in police custody to answer to accusations made by two women, of sexual assault.
This was reported by BfmTv, citing sources according to which it would be on a station Parisian police for questioning.
According to Bfmtv, his Police custody began at 8 this morning.
The two alleged victims reported having suffered harassment on 2 film sets: in 2014 on that of “The Magician and the Siamese” and in 2021 during the filming of “Volets vertes”.
One of the two accusers, at the time of the events, had 24 years and declared that the actor would ‘‘put his hands all over his body”before telling her”indecent words”, as we read in the newspaper Le Courrier de l’Ouest.
The second complaint, presented last February For ”sexual violence”, ”sexual harassment” and ”sexist outrage”, was filed by a 53-year-old mother. The film crew, having learned of the facts, he would have asked Depardieu to apologize and he would have done sobut an investigation was subsequently opened.
Depardieu – who is 75 years old – is in custody he will be questioned about the two cases that concern him. The plaintiff disputes the facts alleged against him.
Against the actor, one of the complaints filed in France for sexual violence against him had already been dismissed due to the statute of limitations. That is to say the complaint filed on last September 10 by the actress Hélène Darras, who accused Depardieu of sexually assaulting her during the filming of a film in 2007. It was Darras’s accusations that were publicly disclosed the France 2 program “Complément d’enquête”.
