After a recent revival of the online #MeToo movement in France, French government officials are seeking to make the legal age of consent 15 years old in an attempt to clear the way for punishments of long-ago child sex abusers.
The Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti announced Tuesday that “An act of sexual penetration by an adult on a minor under 15 will be considered a rape,” and perpetrators will no longer be able to claim consent in order to weaken the charges.
