Gérard Depardieu sexual assault claim dropped due to statute of limitations

Prosecutors in Paris dismiss complaint against French actor by Hélène Darras over legal technicality

A sexual assault complaint against Gérard Depardieu has been dropped because it was past the statute of limitations, prosecutors in Paris have said.

The complaint, by French actor Hélène Darras, was filed last year but relates to the filming of Disco in 2007, during which Depardieu allegedly groped and propositioned her.
