Actor Gerard Depardieu has been accused of sexual assault or harassment by 13 women, according to an investigation by French news website Mediapart.
Ednews informs BBC that the women claim the star groped them, put his hands in their underwear and made obscene remarks, the site said.
The incidents are alleged to have happened over the past two decades on film and TV sets or in public places.
A lawyer for Mr Depardieu, 74, said he "formally denies all the charges which may fall under criminal law".
The Oscar- and Bafta-nominated actor is known for films including Jean de Florette, Green Card and Cyrano de Bergerac.
The allegations come two years after he was placed under criminal investigation for rape, which he has denied.
In the Mediapart investigation, one extra on a film set said he put his hand under her dress before trying to "slip in to get to my knickers". When she pushed his hand away, he became aggressive and tried again, the woman claimed.
Another described how the actor "grabbed [me] by the waist" between takes, had a "wandering hand" and "ended up putting his hand on my bum in an insistent way".
