French screen legend Gerard Depardieu was found guilty Tuesday on a charge of sexually assaulting two women on a 2021 film set.
He was given a suspended jail term of 18 months at the conclusion of a trial in Paris and duly inscribed on the national sex offenders’ register.
The actor’s lawyer confirmed an appeal against the conviction is forthcoming.

isnt this why he became a citizen of Russia should he be charged in France?
In America, a lot of young men have stopped approaching women entirely. More than that, they have given up on dating and have no intention of having a partner. Many single men have discovered that a life of peace and tranquility can be had easily, if the drama of relationships is removed.
Of course, for the US, this will result in a dramatic demographic shift as Gen Z fails to reproduce very much. France may go through a similar evolution in the dating scene -- but they have plenty of Muslim, so future reproduction probably won't be a problem. The next generation just won't be French.
So what was the actual allegation?
That he groped them?

The all encompassing definition of what constitutes sexual assault in France.
Good gad.
No, it was to avoid a punative tax hike on “the rich.”
He and about 2,000 others moved out of France or relinquished their citizenship.
He left in 2012, before these allegations surfaced.
oh interesting…well Steven Seagal also a Russian citizenship holder and has similar accusations against him.
Women think they’re competing against other women, not realizing they’re competing against a man’s peace and quiet. They’re losing badly.
He’s too old for it to work.
Probably didn’t help that he gave an interview back in 1978 where he said he committed “plenty of rapes” when he was a teen.
Not good indeed. I enjoyed his work in the few films I saw him in. It seems almost all the movies I’ve watched in my life were made by very flawed people. I don’t watch movies anymore. FR cured me of that addiction.
The judge must've had serious doubts as to what really happened.
Does that mean I should not be allowed on FR, because I am an extremely flawed person also?
We are all flawed to varying degrees so no. Besides I have no control over who here is allowed. That’s up to the wonderful mods. :)
“Depardieu denied the allegations, saying only that he might have touched the women accidentally or to keep his balance.”
Sureeeee....
Its that way in the US too.
He’s only 76 now, so would have been 72 in 2021, a spring chicken.
Can he wear Depends in prison?
I’m 1000% tired of this shit
