Prolific French movie star Gérard Depardieu was found guilty of sexual assault on Tuesday, with a judge handing down a suspended sentence of 18 months.
The charges against Depardieu stemmed from the testimony of two women, a set decorator and an assistant director, who worked alongside Depardieu on the set of 2022's "Les Volets Verts." Both women said that Depardieu, now 76, groped them on separate occasions. A judge ordered the actor to pay the two accusers between €14,000 and €15,000 and required Depardieu to register as a sex offender.
