The head of France’s top cinema institution Dominique Boutonnat was on Friday given a three-year prison sentence, including two years suspended, after being convicted of sexually assaulting his godson in 2020.
He will be able to serve his one-year jail term at home wearing an electronic bracelet, said the Nanterre criminal court outside Paris.
In a statement, Boutonnat announced he was stepping down as head of the National Centre of Cinema (CNC), whose role includes overseeing measures to curb sexual violence in the industry.
