Depardieu to Appeal Rape Trial Ruling, Lawyer Confirms

Gerard Depardieu, a famous actor, is going to appeal a court's decision that he must stand trial.

He's accused of raping Charlotte Arnould in 2018.

Arnould alleges the assaults occurred at his Paris home when she was in her early twenties.

The actor, who denies the accusations, was previously found guilty of sexual assault in a separate case.

This new decision follows a prior guilty verdict for sexual assault.

The lawyer for Depardieu is questioning the accuser's credibility.
