France to set age of sexual consent at 15 after rape outcry

I'm guessing France is going to get an influx of high school teachers from the US very soon.

(CNN)France's government has proposed setting a formal age of sexual consent after two-high profile cases involving 11-year-old girls, according to the country's Equality Minister.
quote:
Equality Minister Marlene Schiappa said the government "has decided to set the age at 15," after consultations with the public and an expert panel. She said a new law would be presented to Council of Ministers -- France's equivalent of a cabinet -- on March 21. In France, current laws criminalize sex with children under the age of 15 but prosecutors must prove that the sexual act was forced. Two cases involving the 11-year-old girls provoked outrage in France after the alleged perpetrators were acquitted of rape. In November a 30-year-old man was cleared of rape after the court found that the victim had not been subjected to "constraint, threat, violence or surprise."
quote:
In the other case, charges against a 28-year-old man, also accused of raping an 11-year-old girl, were downgraded to "sexual relations with a minor," according to French news agency AFP. Schiappa said that the French President wanted to set the age of consent at 15 and she "had expressed the same preference on many occasions." In October 2017, she told CNN that she wanted to address rape culture. "We want to fix an age in the law below which it's always forbidden to have sex with children, with young girls. Below which it's always considered as a rape," she said in an interview. The law, once implemented, will set the age at which a person cannot agree to any sexual intercourse at 15 and will criminalize any sexual activity with any minor younger than that age.

France is 1 step closer to Sharia Law. Just where they want them.

So, two adult men basically got away with having sex with 11 year old girls. This proposal is to make sure that doesn't happen again.
What exactly is the problem again?

So you think 15 is an appropriate age of consent? You're good with 15 year olds banging 40 year olds and maybe even older?

What a retarded response.
This law would make sure the 30 year old would get charged with raping the 11 year old. Certainly that's at least better than doing nothing.

Is this moron-speak for not being able to answer the question? I assume as much.

IS IT A GOOD LAW THOUGH? IS IT ENOUGH?
Geez, why do you even post? Find some reading comprehension in that brain of yours.

Maybe try being irate at France for giving slaps on the wrists to two sickos who like to have sex with children. Not for some stupid, arbitrary age of consent that a politician proposed.
15 is too young in my opinion, and I don't know what you believe is "enough", but none of that's really relevant, is it? I don't live in France. They're not my lawmakers. But something is still better than nothing.

This isn't surprising. Legal drinking age is 16 over there. Kids smoke regularly. Backwards country.

The most common age of consent in the US is 16. Why the faux outrage at France for setting theirs at 15? Does one year really make that much of a difference to y'all?

100 years ago, 40 year old men were marring 13-15 year old girls here in the USA. In fact, my mom's mother, my grandmaw got married at 15. My grandpaw was 29.

In the balance of human history this is around where people get married and start having kids.
It's much more the norm than the very recent trend of postponing adulthood.

age of consent should be 18 and/or within 2 years.
example- a 19 year old could have consensual sex with 17 year old.
A 40 year old could not have consensual sex with a 17 year old.
