Fontainebleau, France – A French teacher was handed a suspended jail sentence Monday for having sex with a 14-year-old pupil, the latest of several cases fueling debate over the age of consent.
French teacher to be tried for sex with pupil aged 14
The 31-year-old maths teacher had an affair for several months with the girl this year after they struck up a conversation on Instagram.
The pupil, who was in the man’s class last year, insisted the pair were in love but her parents said he was a sexual predator who exploited his position of power.
The girl later told the court that she thought she had been “manipulated”.
God, please protect the sane and reasonable people of France from being infected with puritanical sexphobic hysteria!! 🙏
