WTF? Did other people know about this? How has this possibly been allowed to continue until 2018?
France does not have a legal age under which a minor cannot agree to a sexual relationship – although the country’s top court has ruled that children aged five and under cannot consent. Lawyers for the suspect argued that the girl was consenting and aware of what she was doing, while lawyers for the girl have said she was simply too young and confused to resist.
So six year olds can legally consent, then? Because they're so much more developmentally advanced than 5 year olds?
