Per the AP, Depardieu’s attorney, Herve Temime, told France’s BFM TV that the actor “absolutely denies any rape, any sexual assault, any crime.”

Temime told French news channel BFMTV that the 69-year-old was “shocked” by the claims made against him.

“I have strong elements to show that no offense took place,” Temime said. He also claimed that the crime was “the opposite” of his client’s personality.

Temime added: “I regret that this investigation was not kept secret as usual.”
