France plans to fix the legal age of sexual consent as 15, meaning sex with someone younger than that would be considered rape.
Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa welcomed the move, which follows advice from doctors and legal experts.
Currently, prosecutors must prove sex with someone under 15 was forced in order to bring rape charges.
The change comes amid uproar over two recent cases of men accused of having sex with 11-year-old girls.
Under the existing legislation, if there is no violence or coercion proved, offenders may only be charged with sexual abuse of a minor and not rape. This has a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of 75,000 (£66,000; $87,000).

It had been discussing whether to set the age as 13 or 15, which is what groups fighting violence against children had campaigned for.

Their guest rapists will not like that change.
This thread is about an article posted? You mean with words?

I appreciate your response Nick, but lets be clear here.
France had no age of consent laws? That’s what they seem to be trying to tell us. Why wasn’t the 11 year old covered?
In 2017, a nation had no age of consent laws on the books? Seriously? With all the sex problems with kids, they didn’t have an age of consent law?
Yes, I read what you did. It’s utter nonsense. No kids were reporting rapes, and they weren’t seeing young kids having sex with older people? That just defies logic!
How about eight year olds then, could adults have had sex with them as long as they consented, and the ability to prosecute for a high crime would have been unavailable?
This whole topic wreaks!
So changing a number will make the Muzzies stop raping little French girls?
Got it!
From the article it sounds like there is no “age of consent” at present, so if there are no significant injuries to the child, it is considered consentual and is therefore not rape. They are establishing an age of consent, not reducing it.
It’s just a clever ploy to get aged Hollywood moguls to move their studios to Paris without having to pay tax subsidies.
How does one say “Michael Wiener” in French?
This law is anti-gay.
50% or more of all homosexuals pursue sex with minors.
It seems unfair to blame me, I have no control over what France does.

In truth, send all the followers of the pedophile, back to their native country. French born followers of the pedophile? Send them to Bagne de Cayenne aka Île du Diable (Devil's Island).
Drop it to 9 for any immigrant. Eliminate the concept of consent for any native born citizen so that they can be accused of rape at any time no matter how many times they asked if they could go further.
Oh, but we know you do.
We.
Know.

Well better than age 6 in the Arab world.
It’s incrementalism. No doubt this is being pushed by the Muzzie “refugees” and their SJW enablers.
Jeeze people, read article! There was no age. Muslims wanted it to stay that way. They faught hard against establishing ANY age. The battle’s been going on for quite awhile. Years.
France finally set an age of consent, for the first time ever. This is a major defeat for the head choppers.

In fact, the French DO get upset about young people having affairs with older people. The famous incident of Gabrielle Russier and her lover is an example. If they felt so bad, they should have raised the age then.
Here in Canada, our most left wing party, the NDP, has always tried to get 14 as the age of consent.
There must be some correlation between being on the left and being perverse.
Except something inside tells me Muslims will be given a pass.
You know damn well Muslims won’t be touched. Who is going to report their neighbour whom they know has 12 year olds escorted to his apartment on a regular basis? Cops will probably threaten to hate crime charge them and tell them to mind their own business.
