Makes a change for a white bloke from Rotherham to be charged with raping a minor.

nice hotel

Europe 1 reported that a “niece” of Matthews’ made a formal police complaint last year, alleging that she was not quite of legal age when the alleged incidents took place in both Paris and St. Bart’s, where Matthews has lived since 1995.

They wanna send that Clarence Mitchell out there,these people are the ''untouchables''...

What Difference does it Matter what Age she was ?

there are some confusing issues about age in France but they say she was a minor so they must know what they are doing

there were two cases of people getting away with it - one recently I believe.

The difference it makes is it's even more vile.

The other difference is a child can't give consent.

Currently, prosecutors must prove sex with someone under 15 was forced in order to bring rape charges.

The change comes amid uproar over two recent cases of men accused of having sex with 11-year-old girls.

Under the existing legislation, if there is no violence or coercion proved, offenders may only be charged with sexual abuse of a minor and not rape. This has a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (£66,000; $87,000).

Cheers saddo.  Very different from UK law then.

For me sex with an under 14 year old is rape whatever the circumstances.

Consensual sex with a 14 or 15 year old should be sexual abuse and not rape if the age gap ia over 3 years, although sex with a 14 or 15 year old relative would be rape.

I realise 15 is the relevant age in France

how old is the girl

The age of consent was set at 11 in 1832, at 13 in 1863. In 1942, the age of consent for homosexual acts was set at 21, while that for heterosexual acts was still 13. The latter was increased to 15 in 1945. In 1974, the age for homosexual acts was lowered to 18. In 1982, it was lowered to 15, in line with that for heterosexual acts.



She would have been almost 15 according to my reckoning.

A real stretch for this to be a front page story.

A man who nobody has heard of, that has a son nobody would recognize, who is married to a woman best known for having a famous sister.

anyone heard of Telford?
