French actress Hélène Darras’ allegation of sexual assault against Gerard Depardieu has been dropped by French prosecutors, according to multiple media reports. The drop occurred because the incident in question happened outside of the statute of limitations.

Darras claimed that Depardieu sexually assaulting her during the filming of 2007’s “Disco.” At the time of the alleged assault, Darras was 26 and an extra on the Fabien Onteniente-directed movie.

When describing the incident, Darras said that Depardieu looked at her like she was “a piece of meat.” She was wearing what she described as “an ultra-tight dress” and Darras said he proceeded to grab her by the waist and run his hand “over my hips, over my butt.”

RTL and BFMTV were the first to report this story in France. Variety was the first to report this story in the United States.
