If France legalizes an age of consent that is below what it is in US states, every American pedophile with money will head there.
Your comment does not make sense to me. France does not have an age of consent at present. If you can convince an 11 year old to have sex with you, it is legal at present, as shown in the courts.
So a 13 year old age of consent brings the French much closer to the American legal system.
France doesn’t have an age of consent right now, but that absence does not necessarily provide perfect legal protection. A codified age of consent provides far better. For predators. An age that low, 13, is an open invitation to predators, and I imagine France has enough of its own with out putting out the red carpet for more.
Not exactly.
They were arrested and prosecuted. That is still a huge deterrent to ordinary folks.
The next court may convict.
The key element hey claimed was missing was coercion
And coercion if an 11 year old will be far easier to prove than for an adult.
