French movie legend Gerard Depardieu has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two women on a 2021 film set.
The actor, 76, has been convicted of having groped a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant during the filming of 'Les Volets Verts' ('The Green Shutters'), directed by Jean Becker.
He has now been handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence and the Paris court also ordered Depardieu, who was not present in court for the verdict, be placed on the sex offenders' register, according to France24.
The actor, who has appeared in over 200 films and television series, has been accused of improper behaviour by around 20 women, but this was the first case to reach trial.
Depardieu has denied any wrongdoing.
