The criminal court is France’s highest level of court reserved for crimes carrying sentences of more than five years, if the accused is found guilty. That trial marked Depardieu’s first time in court against a backdrop of at least 20 public allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior against him, dating back decades, although many allegations have only come to light in recent years.
