Gérard Depardieu accused of raping 22-year-old actress; French actor denies allegation
The unnamed French actress says the alleged assault occurred at Depardieu’s home in Paris earlier this month
French actor Gérard Depardieu has been accused of rape and sexual assault by a 22-year-old actress. The French public prosecutor has opened a preliminary investigation into the allegations after the unnamed actress made a complaint to police on Monday in Bouches-du-Rhône, southern France, over an assault alleged to have occurred at Depardieu’s home in Paris’s Left Bank earlier this month, according to BBC.
Depardieu's accuser is an actress and author who claims to have known the actor before the alleged crimes took place.
