French actor Gerard Depardieu convicted of sexual assault
French actor Gerard Depardieu has been declared guilty of sexually assaulting two women on a film set in 2021. Depardieu had repeatedly denied accusations, but judge Donard found his explanation of events unconvincing. He's been handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence, wherein an individual isn't immediately sent to prison, but sentence is withheld until probation period conditions are met.
