Gérard Depardieu will appear in court on Tuesday to hear the verdict in his trial for allegedly sexually assaulting two women during a film shoot in 2021.

Depardieu, 76, is the highest-profile figure in the French film industry to face allegations of sexual assault since the #MeToo movement. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (£63,000).
