French prosecutors have dismissed a lawsuit filed by actress Hélène Darache alleging Gerard Depardieu sexually assaulted her during the filming of the 2007 movie “Disco.”

In a statement sent to Variety, the Paris Prosecutor’s Office said the complaint filed on September 10, 2023 will be dismissed due to the statute of limitations.

A prosecutor’s spokesman said Daras had “decided to file a separate complaint after being heard as a witness during the ongoing investigation stemming from Charlotte Arnold’s lawsuit” in 2018.

Depardieu was charged with rape in this case in 2020.

Daras was one of 13 women who accused Depardieu of sexual misconduct in an investigative story published on Mediapart in April 2023.

Spanish journalist Ruth Bassa also said she had filed a formal complaint against the actor in Spain after he was allegedly assaulted during an interview in Paris in 1995, which is beyond the 20-year statute of limitations in France.

The DA’s office added that in addition to Arnold, “there is no other woman, to date, whose testimony in this investigation has given new evidence to the judge».

Depardieu has not been convicted of any of the allegations and denies any wrongdoing.

The complaint filed by Taras was first reported by France 2, the French public broadcaster, in a bombshell documentary published on December 7 titled “Complement d’Enquete”.

The documentary shows raw footage of the actor making sexually inappropriate and lewd jokes.

This material caused an uproar in France, causing the immediate placement of Culture Minister Rima Abdul-Malak, who announced that Depardieu’s Legion of Honor would be abolished.
