A member of the Front National pretended to have been kidnapped in order to run away with her lover.
Suspected of the kidnapping for a time, the husband ordered his pig to bite a policewoman of North African descent during a house search.

I mixed up 'cochon' and 'cochonne' and was very confused for a minute there.

I mean, it can be done not too stupidly, in Canada it's 14, but only if the person the 14-year-old is banging is 16 or younger. For everyone else the law is 16.

quote:

Two recent court cases have heightened the debate over who is old enough to consent to sex under French law.

A jury last week acquitted a 30-year-old man who was accused of raping an 11-year-old girl in 2009, French media reported. The jury in the Paris suburb region of Seine-et-Marne found that while there had been a sexual relationship between the girl and the man, it did not constitute rape according to the legal definition of the crime in France.

The girl's parents reportedly found out about what had happened when their daughter became pregnant.

French media also have reported that the prosecutor's office in the city of Pontoise near Paris decided in September that a 28-year-old man suspected of having sex with an 11-year-old girl should be tried for sexual abuse instead of rape because of how French law defines rape.

French law defines rape as any act of sexual penetration committed on others "by violence, coercion, threat or surprise." The definition does not distinguish between adults and minors for either the victims or perpetrators, although the potential criminal penalty is higher when victims are under 15.

A minimum age of sexual consent does not currently exist in French law. The law only says that an adult who performs a sexual act with a person under the age of 15 "without violence, coercion, threat or surprise" can be prosecuted for "sexual abuse," not rape.

In both of the recent cases, investigators reportedly found that the sexual relationships did not involve surprise, threat, coercion or violence.

Oh, I thought your point was that 13 is a ridiculously low age of consent. I mean, no 30-year-old should be banging 13-year-olds, quite frankly.

For reference it's just the minimum age the person involved is considered to be able to consent to sex. It's 12 in spain, 13 in England, 12 in some US state, 14 in Germany, 16 in swiss and holland. The french system didn't consider a minimum age to limit consent before.

Le monde posted:

La loi française ne définit pas le consentement en tant que tel mais son expression, qui est définie comme l’absence de :

* violences ;
* contraintes : recours à des pressions physiques ou morales, abus de sa position ;
* menaces : annonces de représailles en cas de refus de la victime ;
* surprise : recours à un stratagème pour surprendre la victime ou abuser de son état d’inconscience, d’alcoolémie, etc.

Même sans élément matériel, la « contrainte » peut être établie par la relation de pouvoir que l’agresseur entretien avec le mineur, s’il s’agit d’un ascendant (père, mère, grand-père…) ou d’un adulte en position d’autorité (professeur, médecin…).

L’absence de recours à la violence, à la contrainte, à la menace ou à la surprise ne signifie pas pour autant qu’il y a consentement, mais qu’il n’existe pas d’expression de consentement. Cette nuance est importante.

Actuellement, l’atteinte sexuelle sur une personne de moins de quinze ans est pénalement réprimée car on estime qu’un mineur suffisament jeune ne peut consentir librement à un acte sexuel avec un majeur.

Ce que la législation actuelle ne permet pas, c’est de qualifier tout acte sexuel commis avec une personne de moins de quinze ans comme nécessairement perpetré avec violence, contrainte, menace ou surprise, ce qui le ferait rentrer forcément dans le champ des agressions sexuelles (et des viols, si pénétration).

L’article 222-22-1 dispose tout de même que « la différence d’âge entre l’agresseur et sa victime mineure peut constituer une contrainte morale », sans préciser quel est cet écart. Dans un arrêt de 2005, la Cour de cassation inclut dans la définition de contrainte ou surprise un âge « suffisamment peu élevé » pour que la victime ne puisse avoir « aucune idée de ce qu’est la sexualité ».

La situation semble claire pour de très jeunes enfants, de 3 ou 4 ans, mais la loi n’empêche pas aujourd’hui de considérer qu’un acte sexuel avec un mineur de 11 ans ait pu être commis sans recours à la violence, à la contrainte, à la menace ou à la surprise.
And there was a case with a 11 years old girl without violence, surprise or any threat so it wasn't considered as a "rape". Which drove the family mad, so now we will now have a minimal consent age, not some vague "you choose mister judge" decision, in line with the rest of the world.Edit: note that in that case the sentence was still in the range of 5 years of jail and a 75 000 euros fine, it just wasn't considered rape(because it didn't involve any of the 4 criterias of non consensual sex), just sex with a person under the age of 15.

A lot of countries do not have consent laws per se and instead criminalize just behaviour under conditions deemed as exploitive, which usually includes age in consideration. Either by explicit mentioning or by including it in elements like "undue".

The terminology of having a rape reserved for coercive acts on people who could consent in principle and abuse for those victims who cannot isn't particularly rare in Europe either.

I would have sworn it was from a french brain. I've found this from a joint UK/France terrorism plan though (bolding mine):

quote:

«Lorsque les technologies de chiffrement sont utilisées par des groupes criminels, voire terroristes, il doit exister une possibilité d’accès au contenu des communications et à leurs métadonnées ».

«Il n’est pas question ici de portes dérobées ou d’interdiction du chiffrement, mais de permettre que les gouvernements et les entreprises développent des solutions conjointes sur ces questions »

Contradictory imo but this is from heavyweights May and Macron.

There's also what a few people I follow on Twitter pointed: this slapfight has effectively diverted focus from the extent of sexual harassment/violence in this country. Valls jumped on the occasion to spout his usual bullshit about Islam. Allegations of sexual harassment in the youth section of the socialist party between 2010 and 2014 (so long before Valls left)? Ain't got no time for that. As for Plenel, he's probably using this to deflect attention from allegations of sexual assault against Pierre Joxe, whom he wrote a column to defend before this got started.

This is something Valls could easily use against Plenel and Médiapart, right there. But no, of course he's barking ISLAM ISLAM RAMADAN RAMADAN ISLAM ISLAM instead.

e: The ham sandwhich anecdote reminds me of this local tale of violence and intolerance

quote:

Au centre commercial Italie, dans le quartier rennais du Blosne, le boucher-traiteur a définitivement fermé ses portes fin avril. « Usé par les pressions », le commerçant a vendu ses murs. Début juin, dans un local rénové, s’installera une boucherie halal, la deuxième de cet ensemble qui compte une quinzaine d’enseignes.

En onze ans d’exploitation, le boucher s’est fait démolir sa vitrine une dizaine de fois. Pourquoi ? « Parce que j’avais le malheur de vendre du porc ! », assure Jérôme. Il y a quelques années, une inscription d’une cinquantaine de centimètres a été gravée au couteau sur la porte en bois de son arrière-boutique : « A mort les porcs, on vous saignera. »

« Comme les fois précédentes, j’ai déposé plainte au commissariat. Comme les fois précédentes, les policiers ont refusé de se déplacer pour constater. Je suis amer. » Selon le quadragénaire, les intimidations sont allées jusqu’aux menaces physiques. « Il y a trois ans, un soir, une dizaine de voyous est entrée dans ma boutique. Ils m’ont dit que si le lendemain, vendredi, je faisais cuire des galettes-saucisses dehors, comme c’était la tradition depuis toujours, ça se passerait très mal. Du coup, j’ai arrêté de faire des galettes-saucisses le vendredi, jour de prière chez les musulmans. Je les ai faites le samedi en fin de matinée, quand les perturbateurs de ce quartier dorment encore.»

What even is the point of that article, saying that ominously-described law-abiding muslims are complicit in terrorism because they... normalise having a different religion? I mean, it seriously describes people who it admits have done nothing wrong, and then weasels its way into accusing them of causing loving shariah law in France or some bullshit.
