“I feel relieved,” Arnould, 29, wrote on Instagram on Tuesday, announcing that she had received the investigating judge’s indictment order. “The order restores a form of judicial truth. I think I’m having trouble realizing how huge this is.”

Arnould has said that the alleged crimes took place at Depardieu’s Paris home on Aug. 7 and Aug. 13, 2018. She was 22 and he was 69 at the time. He has denied wrongdoing.

“The acts of rape and sexual assault have been acknowledged,” Arnould said. “Now, we await the next steps.”

No date for the trial has been set yet, and there was no official comment from the court.

Arnould’s lawyer, Carine Durrieu-Diebolt, said in a statement that she and Arnould were “relieved and confident,” describing the decision as a “moment of judicial truth” in the case, pending trial.

This is not the first time the actor has faced criticism over his behavior when working with women. The 76-year old has faced a series of accusations of wrongdoing against women. This low-class human garbage was convicted of sexually assaulting two women on a film set and received an 18-month suspended prison sentence.

Depardieu was convicted of groping a 54-year old woman responsible for decorating a set and a 34-year old assistant during the filming of 'Les Volets Verts'.

All in all, about 20 women were accusing him of misconduct and sexual assault. Some cases were dropped due to lack of evidence or due to the statute of limitations.

To be quite frank, he is a disgusting pig and hopefully they'll throw the book at him.
