Gérard Depardieu has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two women during a film shoot in 2021.
...
The 76-year-old, who was not in court for the verdict, was convicted of sexually assaulting a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant director during the shooting of the feature film Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters) in Paris in September 2021.

The court heard that Depardieu trapped the set decorator, identified only as Amélie, between his legs on the film set and grabbed her buttocks, pubis and chest. She said he trapped her with force, used obscene language and had to be pulled off her.
...
Depardieu was also convicted of sexually assaulting an assistant director on the same film, touching her breasts or buttocks on three separate occasions. The woman, who was not named in the media, was tasked with accompanying Depardieu from his dressing room on to the set during the filming. She said the assaults left her “petrified”.
