French star is being investigated over an incident with a female
Actor at his
Paris home in 2018
The French actor Gérard Depardieu has been charged with rape and
Sexual Assault, allegedly committed in 2018 against an actor in her 20s.
An initial investigation into the rape accusations against the 72-year old was dropped in 2019 for lack of evidence. It was reopened last summer, leading to criminal charges being filed in December, a judicial source told Agence France-Presse.
