Depardieu guilty – level 1
16-05-2025 07:00
Gérard Depardieu is a French actor. A court says he does something bad to two women on a movie set. This happens in 2021.
The actor must not go to prison, but he must be careful. If he does something wrong, he will go to prison. He cannot vote or be in elections for two years. He goes on a list for people who do bad things. The women work on the movie. One works with clothes. The other helps on the set. Depardieu says he does not hurt them. But he says he uses bad words and touches one woman. He must give the women some money.
Many women say Depardieu does bad things. One other woman says he hurts her in 2018. That case does not finish yet.
Difficult words: court (a place where people go when they are in trouble with the law), careful (to focus on what you are doing so that you do not make a mistake), elections (when people vote for someone).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
How long is Depardieu barred from voting or standing in elections?
