French prosecutors have dropped an investigation into rape allegations made against actor Gerard Depardieu.
The 70-year-old had always denied the accusations made by a young French actress last year. The prosecutor's office said the investigators were not able to stand up the allegations, reports a publication.
Depardieu is one of France's most recognisable actors and has starred in films such as Cyrano De Bergerac and Jean De Florette.
The accuser claimed the alleged crimes occurred in August last year in one of Depardieu's Paris residences when she was 22 years old, the media reported then.
When the allegations emerged, his lawyer, Herv? Temime, said the actor was "shaken" and that the claims went against "everything (the actor) is".
In a statement, the prosecutor's office said: "A number of investigations undertaken as part of this procedure have not enabled us to characterize the crimes alleged in all of their individual parts."
