Gérard Depardieu, the renowned French actor, was scheduled to appear in court on October 28th in Paris for charges of sexual assault involving two women during a 2021 film shoot.

However, his lawyer, Jérémie Assous, announced that Depardieu would be absent due to health reasons, requesting a postponement of the trial.

The actor, who denies the allegations, wishes to be present to defend himself against what he claims are false accusations.

The charges stem from incidents reported by a film decorator and an assistant director, who allege inappropriate conduct by Depardieu on the set of 'Les Volets Verts.

' This case adds to a series of legal challenges for Depardieu, who faces multiple accusations of sexual misconduct.

The actor has publicly denied all allegations, asserting his innocence in an open letter.
