Gérard Depardieu, the French cinema star, faces a suspended prison term and sex-offender registration if convicted of assault. Testimonies from two women allege he groped them on a film set in Paris in 2021, which he denies. The prosecutor requested an 18-month suspended sentence and a fine, while the defense called for acquittal. The case highlights issues of sexism and the complexities of celebrity trials, with support from fellow actresses like Fanny Ardant and Brigitte Bardot.
