Court adjourns hearing in Gérard Depardieu's case, accused of sexual harassment.
Gérard Depardieu did not appear in court due to health condition
French actor Gérard Depardieu, who is accused of sexual harassment, did not appear in court due to his health condition. The hearing of the case has been postponed until March 2025, and a medical examination will be conducted to determine if Depardieu can be present.
The actor's defense assured that he will provide witnesses and evidence that will demonstrate that the accusations are unfounded. His lawyer also accused the plaintiff of attempting to extort money. Depardieu has already lost some professional opportunities because of this scandal.
In total, five lawsuits have been filed against the actor. He faces up to five years of imprisonment. The trial could also have a major impact on the French film industry, with growing calls to hold other influential figures accountable for their crimes.
