(Europa Press). The trial against Gérard Depardieu for sexual assault, which has started this Monday, October 28, has been postponed until March 24 and 25, 2025, after the absence of the artist for medical reasons, as reported by the French media RMC. The lawyer appeared this Monday before the 10th courtroom of the Paris Criminal Court and asked for the postponement, as Depardieu wanted to be present because “he has suffered a large number of accusations since three years ago.” “The witnesses and the evidence he will present will prove that he is nothing more than a target of false accusations. The objective pursued by the plaintiffs has just been revealed by the civil parties’ requests for compensation: to enrich themselves between 6,000 and 30,000 euros,” he assured France Info last Friday, October 25. Depardieu is facing two accusations of sexual assault filed by two women, who accuse him of touching on two film sets, one in 2014 in ‘The Magician and the Siamese’, by Jean-Pierre Mocky, and the other in 2021 in ‘The Green Blinds’, by Jean Becker. The performer has also been accused since 2020 of rape and sexual assault on actress Charlotte Arnould. He has also been accused by the Spanish journalist and writer Ruth Baza, who denounced last December 2023.
