Actor Gérard Depardieu will face a criminal trial in October over the alleged sexual assaults in 2021 of two women on the set of the film “The Green Shutters." Police detained the 75-year-old actor for questioning Monday, and the Paris public prosecutor’s office said later he was summoned to appear in court. The statement said his trial will start in October “for sexual assaults likely to have been committed in September 2021” against two accusers. Depardieu has previously denied wrongdoing. His lawyer declined to comment to reporters other than to say the actor was no longer in custody. Depardieu has been an ambassador for French film and was long seen as a national icon.
