ParisFrench President Emmanuel Macron has announced tougher action against the sexual abuse of minors. The victims of sexual violence would “never be left alone again,” said Macron in a video published on Twitter on Saturday. In the past few weeks, thousands of French people had reported sexual assault in families on the Internet using the hashtag #Metooinceste.
This was triggered by a book by the lawyer Camille Kouchner about alleged abuse in her well-known family. She accused her stepfather, the renowned political scientist Olivier Duhamel, of abusing her twin brother.
