French star actor Gérard Depardieu was handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence and placed on the national database of sex offenders after he was found guilty on Tuesday of sexually assaulting two women on a film set in September 2021.
Judges at the Paris Criminal Court convicted the 76-year-old of groping a 54-year-old set dresser – identified as Amelie – and a 34-year-old assistant director during the filming of Les Volets Verts (“The Green Shutters”).
