Request of criminal proceedings against Gerard Depardieu for the rape of Charlotte Arnould

Charlotte Arnould was the first woman to officially deny Depardieu, to bring him to court, but the first accusations, several years ago, were made by Emmanuelle Debever, the van – an actor who was in his early twenties on the set of his “Danton” by Andrzej Wajda (1983). The woman killed herself in December 2023, throwing himself into the Seine, on the day the program “Complèment d’investigation” was broadcast on French TV​​​​, the investigation into the cases of harassment by the French actor. Thirteen other women have been accused of sexual abuse the actor, which came to light after the publication of a long investigation by the website Mediapart. In April the actor was accused of sexually assaulting two women and was arrested at a Paris police station for questioning, he was later released. The two women who accuse him say that the actor harassed him on the set of two films, one from 2014 and the other from 2021. In July 2023 a stage assistant made another accusation against Depardieu for an attempted sexual assault against him that occurred a few years earlier.
