A superior European court on Thursday sentenced France for not protecting the rights of three adolescents who reported violation.
The European Court of Human Rights determined that the French legal system did not properly evaluate the ability of the victims to give their consent in the “participularly vulnerable situations in what I had encountered,” he said.
“In the three requests, the investigating authorities and the national courts could not protect the applicants, who had complained about acts of rape and had been 13, 14 and 16 years on the relevant dates, properly,” the court said.
In one of the cases, a girl accused several rape firefighters when I was under 15 years old.
A second victim informed that two men in his veins raped her when she was 14, while the third applicant reported that an 18 -year -old girl raped her at home when she was 16.
None of the attackers realized.

“The consent had to reflect a good will to participate in sexual relations at a given time and in the specific circumstances,” said the court.
“The French State had not fulfilled its duty to apply, in practice, a system of criminal law capable or punishing non -consensual sexual acts.”
