French film icon Gérard Depardieu was convicted Tuesday of sexually assaulting two women during the production of the 2021 movie “Les Volets Verts.”
The 76-year-old actor, celebrated for a career spanning more than 250 films, was handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence by a Paris court. He was also ordered to pay a total of 29,040 euros (about $32,350) to his two accusers and will have his name entered into the national sex offender registry.
