Age of consent

Last week in Meaux, east of the French capital, a jury acquitted a man accused of raping an 11-year-old girl in 2009. It decided that the prosecution had not sufficiently established any of the elements that legally constitute rape in France, which are “constraint, threat, violence or surprise”.

The accused in the case was 22 when he approached an 11-year-old girl playing with her cousin in an apartment building courtyard in Champs-sur-Marne in August 2009. At trial, the defense had argued that the sexual relations that followed in a park were consensual and that the alleged victim had lied about her age, saying she was nearly 15, a claim the girl denied. The girl’s family did not learn of the incident until 2010, when it was discovered she was pregnant. She later gave birth to a child, now aged 7, who was taken into foster care.
