Actor Gérard Depardieu challenges this Thursday before the Paris Court of Appeal the indictment at the end of 2020 for “rape” and “sexual assault” of which he is the subject, according to information from our colleagues from BFM TV.
The 73-year-old actor seized the investigating chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal on this request for the nullity of his indictment concerning facts which he “totally disputes”.
The facts date from August 2018
The actress and dancer, Charlotte Arnould, had explained to the gendarmerie of Lambesc (Bouches-du-Rhône), at the end of August 2018, having been raped a few days earlier twice at the Parisian home of the star, a private mansion in the 6th arrondissement. .
A Parisian investigating judge indicted Gérard Depardieu on December 16, 2020 for “rape” and “sexual assault”, leaving him free without judicial control. Following this decision, Charlotte Arnould spoke in mid-December on Twitter to reveal her identity.
