The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates financials such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC, and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet does not use paywalls and seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and to send journalists to speak to both sides of stories. French film star Gerard Depardieu will appeal a ruling that he must stand trial on charges of raping actor and former ballet dancer Charlotte Arnould. Arnould first accused Depardieu in 2018; the case was reopened in 2020 and prosecutors requested a trial in 2022. Depardieu denies wrongdoing.

French film star Gerard Depardieu will appeal a ruling that he must stand trial on charges of raping a fellow actor, his lawyer says. The charges stem from two alleged incidents involving actor and former ballet dancer Charlotte Arnould. On Tuesday, the Paris prosecutor's office confirmed that an investigating judge had ruled that the case should be sent before a court. No court date has yet been given. Asked on Wednesday if Depardieu planned to appeal, his lawyer Jeremie Assous told Franceinfo radio: "Of course."
