Depardieu briefly detained by police over ‘sex assaults’
PARIS: French police are no longer holding actor Gerard Depardieu following a day of reported questioning on Monday over accusations by two women that he sexually assaulted them on movie sets, his lawyer said.
Speaking to reporters as he was leaving the police station in the 14th district of Paris the actor’s lawyer, Christian Saint-Palais, said: “The police custody is over. He is no longer held in the police station.”
Depardieu has denied wrongdoing. In an open letter last Oct, he said: “I have never, ever abused a woman.” BFMTV and Le Parisien reported that the police summons relates to accusations of sexual assault filed by two women who accuse him of groping during filming — one in 2014, the other in 2021.
