The 76-year-old actor was accused by the two women of groping them during work on a film in 2021. Depardieu had denied the allegations against him and his lawyer said he would appeal.

The court in Paris found that one of the women, a set dresser named Amélie, had given consistent evidence while the actor's accounts had changed over time.

She told reporters afterwards she was "very moved" and satisfied with the verdict, which for her was "a victory, a major step forward".

Depardieu was also convicted of assaulting an assistant director called Sarah, which was not her real name.
