Jeanced and sexual harassment charges were brought to Gerard Depardieu in 2018. Then the 20-year-old actress announced that Depardieu allegedly raped her in his Parisian house twice, and the complaint was given only two weeks after the incident.
The case was closed in 2019 due to the lack of evidence, but resumed in the summer of last year, when a young actress again wrote a statement. Repeated investigation again led to the nomination of accusations by Gerard Depardieu, and on March 10, he will appear before the French court.
However, as the AFP news agency reports, a 72-year-old French actor completely refutes the accusations nominated against him and declares that there is no evidence that he has committed such a crime.
"For me, the investigation was closed, I was innocent, and I have nothing to be afraid," said Depardieu.
At the same time, he calls the coverage of this case in the media "terrible", since at present, in his opinion, in the press dominates the tendency to continuously transfer negative and often false and biased information.
