Gérard Depardieu to face trial over rape and sexual assault allegations
French actor Gérard Depardieu will face trial over allegations of rape and sexual assault made by a young actress in 2018. The accuser, Charlotte Arnould, filed a complaint seven years ago, and she has expressed relief that the case is finally going to court. The alleged incidents took place in August 2018 at Depardieu's home in Paris. Arnould, who was in her 20s at the time, claimed that the veteran actor sexually assaulted her on two separate occasions. Depardieu, 74, is a highly acclaimed actor known for his roles in films like "Green Card" and "Cyrano de Bergerac." He has not yet commented on the upcoming trial, which will be a closely watched case in the French entertainment industry. The decision to bring the case to trial comes after a lengthy investigation and legal proceedings. Arnould's lawyers have stated that she is determined to see the case through and seek justice.
