French actor Gérard Depardieu, who was indicted in 2020 on rape and sexual assault charges, has claimed he’s “neither a rapist, nor a predator” in an open letter.
Depardieu, 74, was accused of raping and sexually assaulting French film star Charlotte Arnould in his Paris mansion in 2018. The case was initially dropped in 2019, with authorities citing a lack of evidence, but was reopened in 2020 when criminal charges were filed.
