Depardieu, who denied sexual assault, had argued before the court that he did not consider placing a hand on a person’s buttocks sexual assault and that some women were too easily shocked.

A Paris court is set to deliver a verdict Tuesday on accusations that French actor Gérard Depardieu sexually assaulted two women who were working on a film with him in 2021.

Gérard Depardieu faces a suspended prison term and registration as a sex-offender if he is convicted today of assault.
